Product Overview
The Mens Poplin Half Sleeve Shirt from Uneek Clothing represents a refined approach to professional attire, balancing a sharp aesthetic with the practical demands of the modern workplace.

Key Features
- Stiffened Collar: Designed to maintain its shape and structure throughout the day, ensuring you look prepared and professional from the start of your shift to the end.
- Left-Side Chest Pocket: Provides a practical solution for carrying essential items like pens or ID cards, keeping them accessible while maintaining a clean silhouette.
- Back Yoke: The addition of a back yoke provides extra strength across the shoulders and improves the overall fit and drape of the garment.
- Easy Care Fabric: This specialized finish simplifies the maintenance process, reducing the need for intensive ironing and helping the shirt resist creases during wear.
- Self-Coloured Buttons: Subtle branding details and matching buttons provide a cohesive, understated look that does not distract from your company logo.
Design & Performance
Engineered from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, this shirt is designed to withstand the rigours of daily commercial use. The polyester component provides excellent durability, wrinkle resistance, and colour fastness, while the cotton ensures the fabric remains breathable and soft against the skin. This lightweight fabric is substantial enough to be opaque and professional, yet light enough to ensure comfort during active shifts. The straight hem and back yoke construction contribute to a garment that moves with the wearer, rather than restricting them.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth poplin weave of this shirt provides an excellent canvas for both print and embroidery. For a traditional and highly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery on the chest or collar; it adds a tactile, premium finish that is particularly long-lasting. If your branding involves larger, more vibrant graphics, our high-quality printing processes are equally effective on this fabric blend.
All customisation is handled at our dedicated facility in Telford. Our in-house team has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your company logo is reproduced with absolute precision and durability. Whether you require subtle staff names or bold corporate logos, we ensure the finish aligns with your brand standards.
Use Cases
This shirt is an ideal choice for front-of-house staff in the hospitality sector, retail environments, or corporate office settings. It provides the necessary formality for client-facing roles while offering the comfort required for those who are constantly on their feet. The short sleeves make it a preferred option for staff working in temperature-controlled environments or during the summer months.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note the collar measurements provided. For a professional look, ensure the collar allows for two fingers of space when fastened. This shirt layers exceptionally well under lightweight knitwear or waistcoats for a more formal ensemble. The easy-care nature of the fabric makes it a reliable choice for staff who need a quick turnaround between shifts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. Washing at this temperature ensures the effective removal of oils and perspiration, which is essential for maintaining hygiene and fabric freshness in a busy work environment.
Avoid the use of bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the polyester fibres and cause the cotton to lose its soft handle. If tumble drying, use a low heat setting to prevent excessive shrinkage and to protect any custom embroidery or print from heat damage. A light iron while the garment is slightly damp will take full advantage of the easy-care finish, resulting in a crisp, professional look with minimal effort.
