Product Overview
The Uneek Clothing UC923 Ladies Heavyweight Tunic represents a superior standard in healthcare apparel. Engineered for the demands of a busy clinical or care environment, this tunic combines a substantial fabric weight with a professional aesthetic that inspires confidence. Unlike standard tunics that can feel flimsy after a few shifts, this garment uses a robust blend of materials designed to withstand the rigours of daily use while maintaining its shape and colour.
Key Features
- Concealed Open End Zip: The centre-front zip is hidden behind a placket, ensuring a clean, professional appearance and preventing the fastening from catching on equipment or patients.
- Press Stud Security: A press stud fastening at the top provides extra security and ensures the collar stays in place throughout your shift.
- Four-Pocket Storage: With two chest pockets and two hip pockets, you have dedicated space for everything from pens and clinical thermometers to personal essentials.
- Action Back Pleats: These pleats are specifically designed to allow for a full range of arm movement, ensuring the fabric doesn't pull when you are reaching or assisting patients.
- Side Vents: Integrated side vents provide additional ease of movement around the hips and improve airflow, which is essential during high-pressure moments.
- Contrast Trim Detail: The contrast trim on the collar, cuffs, and pockets adds a distinctive finish that helps your team stand out with a unified, expert look.
Design & Performance
The UC923 is constructed from a heavyweight 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend. This specific ratio is chosen for its high-performance characteristics; the polyester provides essential durability and crease resistance, while the cotton ensures the garment remains breathable and comfortable against the skin. The regular fit is tailored to provide a professional silhouette without being restrictive.
The performance of this tunic is rooted in its ergonomic design. The action back pleats are a vital feature for healthcare workers who are constantly on the move, preventing the fatigue that comes from restrictive clothing. This is a substantial garment that feels sturdy and reliable from the first wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
At MyWorkwear, we understand that branding is about more than just a logo; it is about identity. This heavyweight tunic is an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a formal, enduring professional appearance, we recommend embroidery for hospital logos or staff names. The dense weave of the fabric provides a stable base for high-stitch-count embroidery, ensuring your branding does not pucker or pull.
If you require larger, high-visibility branding or roles printed on the back of the garment, our printing process delivers sharp, vibrant results. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting workwear branding since 1976.
Use Cases
This tunic is ideally suited for a wide range of healthcare and service roles, including nursing staff, dental practitioners, veterinary surgeons, and care home professionals. Its durable construction also makes it a sensible choice for physiotherapy and beauty therapy environments where a professional, clinical appearance is mandatory.

Practical Advice
The UC923 is a regular fit garment. For those working in particularly warm environments, we recommend wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath to maximise the comfort provided by the side vents. When ordering for a team, it is worth noting that the heavyweight nature of the fabric means it holds its structure well, so there is no need to size up for 'room' as the action pleats handle the movement for you.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your tunic, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is vital for effective infection control and ensuring that stubborn stains common in healthcare environments are properly removed.
Failure to follow these washing instructions may lead to the buildup of bacteria or the permanent setting of stains. Furthermore, keeping to the recommended temperature helps preserve the bond of any printed elements and the tension of embroidered logos, ensuring your professional image remains intact for the life of the garment.
