Product Overview
The Uneek UC114 Mens Active Cotton Poloshirt is a refined staple for any professional wardrobe, balancing a contemporary aesthetic with the reliable comfort of natural fibres. This poloshirt is specifically engineered for active professionals who require a garment that moves with them while maintaining a sharp, structured silhouette throughout the working day.
Constructed from premium combed cotton, this garment offers a significantly smoother surface than standard cotton alternatives. This makes it an ideal canvas for high-quality branding, ensuring that your company logo sits perfectly against the fabric. The contemporary fit provides a more tailored look than traditional boxy cuts, offering a modern appearance suitable for customer-facing roles and management alike.
Key Features
- 100% Ring Spun Combed Cotton: The combing process removes shorter fibres and impurities, resulting in a fabric that is exceptionally soft against the skin and highly resistant to pilling.
- Reactive Dyed Fabric: This ensures deep, consistent colour saturation that remains vibrant even after repeated laundering, preventing the 'washed-out' look common in lesser garments.
- Knitted Raised Collar and Cuffs: These structural elements are designed to hold their shape, preventing the dreaded 'curling' collar and ensuring you look professional from morning until night.
- Taped Neck: Internal taping across the neck seam provides enhanced comfort and prevents irritation, while also reinforcing the garment's structure to prevent stretching.
- Twin Needle Stitching: Used on the hem to provide superior durability, ensuring the garment can withstand the rigours of daily wear without the seams failing.
- Three Self-Coloured Button Placket: Offers a clean, understated finish that complements the overall design of the poloshirt.
Design & Performance
The performance of the UC114 lies in its material composition. By using ring-spun combed cotton that has been pre-shrunk, Uneek has created a poloshirt that offers stability. This means the garment won't unexpectedly change size after its first encounter with a washing machine, which is a common frustration with lower-quality workwear.
The fabric is a medium-weight cotton, providing enough substance to feel like a high-quality garment while remaining breathable enough for active use. The 'Active' designation is well-earned; the natural stretch of the knit combined with the contemporary fit allows for a full range of motion without the excess fabric that often gets in the way during manual tasks.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The UC114 is a versatile choice for customisation. Given the smooth finish of the combed cotton, this poloshirt is particularly well-suited for embroidery. A high-stitch-count logo on the chest or sleeve provides a 'proper' professional finish that conveys authority and reliability to your clients.
For those requiring larger, more vibrant branding—perhaps for promotional events or high-visibility team identification—this fabric also takes print exceptionally well. Our in-house team in Telford, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, will ensure that whichever method you choose, the final result meets our exacting standards.
Use Cases
This poloshirt is a versatile workwear solution. It is equally at home in a retail environment, a corporate office with a casual dress code, or worn by site managers who need to transition between the office and the field. Its professional appearance makes it a preferred choice for uniforms in the hospitality and service industries where first impressions are paramount.

Practical Advice
As this garment features a contemporary fit, it is slightly more tailored than a traditional workwear poloshirt. If you prefer a looser, more relaxed fit, you may wish to consider sizing up. It layers excellently under a sweatshirt or softshell jacket for year-round versatility.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your poloshirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. Washing at this temperature effectively removes daily grime without placing undue stress on the natural cotton fibres or the reactive dyes.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will strip the reactive dyes and weaken the cotton fibres, leading to premature wear and fading. When drying, it is best to air dry the garment or use a low heat setting on a tumble dryer to prevent excessive shrinkage, ensuring your custom branding remains flat and undistorted.
If ironing is required, use a medium setting and avoid ironing directly over any printed elements to prevent damage to the customisation. Proper care ensures your investment in quality workwear continues to represent your business effectively for the long term.
