Product Overview
The Uneek Clothing UC122 Jersey Poloshirt is a sophisticated choice for those seeking a smoother texture than the traditional pique weave. Constructed from 100% cotton, this medium-weight poloshirt combines the formal appearance of a collared shirt with the soft, jersey feel of a premium t-shirt. It provides a clean, professional aesthetic that holds its shape throughout the working day, making it an ideal canvas for business branding.
Key Features
100% Cotton Composition: The pure cotton fabric ensures natural breathability and a soft touch against the skin, providing comfort during long shifts.
Reactive Dyed Fabric: This technical dyeing process ensures the colour penetrates deep into the fibres, significantly reducing fading even after repeated industrial or domestic laundering.
Knitted Collar and Cuffs: These reinforced elements are designed to retain their structure and prevent the garment from losing its professional shape over time.
Taped Neck: Internal taping provides extra durability at a high-stress point and prevents irritation at the neckline for the wearer.
Three-Button Placket: Features self-coloured buttons for a cohesive, understated finish suitable for corporate environments.
Design & Performance
Unlike standard poloshirts that utilise a textured pique knit, the UC122 uses a jersey knit, resulting in a flatter, smoother surface. This medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to feel durable and high-quality, while remaining breathable for indoor environments. The reactive dyeing process is a standout technical feature, ensuring that the deep black or selected colour remains sharp and professional despite the rigours of daily wear. The inclusion of hemmed sleeves and a hemmed bottom provides a clean finish that looks professional whether the garment is tucked in or worn loose.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth jersey surface of this poloshirt makes it exceptionally versatile for customisation. For a professional and long-lasting corporate identity, we recommend embroidery; our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos or staff names with precision, creating a textured finish that withstands regular washing. If your branding requires large, vibrant graphics, the jersey knit provides an excellent flat surface for high-quality printing. Having operated since 1976, MyWorkwear understands how to balance stitch density and ink application to ensure your branding complements the fabric without compromising its drape.
Use Cases
The UC122 is perfectly suited for customer-facing roles where a polished appearance is mandatory. It is a popular choice for retail staff, hospitality teams, and event organisers who require something more formal than a t-shirt but more comfortable than a stiff shirt. Its unisex fit also makes it an excellent standard-issue garment for larger workforces requiring a consistent look across all departments.

Practical Advice
As this is a 100% cotton garment, it is designed for comfort and breathability. If you are between sizes or intend to wear a base layer underneath during colder months, you may wish to consider the next size up to ensure a comfortable fit. The medium-weight jersey fabric makes it a versatile layering piece that fits neatly under a jumper or softshell jacket without adding excessive bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and appearance of your jersey poloshirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is sufficient to remove daily grime without causing unnecessary stress to the natural cotton fibres or the reactive dye, ensuring the garment lasts longer.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the cotton structure and cause the reactive dye to fail, leading to permanent discolouration. When drying, air drying is preferable to maintain the garment's shape and the integrity of any applied print or embroidery. If ironing is required, we suggest doing so on the reverse to protect your customised branding and prevent heat damage to the logo.
