Product Overview
The Uneek UC710 Mens Poplin Half Sleeve Shirt is an essential component of a professional uniform, engineered to provide a sharp, crisp appearance in environments where a long-sleeved garment might be impractical. This shirt is crafted from a reliable poplin weave, offering a smooth surface that serves as an excellent canvas for company branding while maintaining a lightweight feel for all-day comfort.
Key Features
Easy Care Fabric: The polyester and cotton blend is designed to resist excessive creasing, making it ideal for staff who need to maintain a pristine look with minimal maintenance.
Stiffened Collar: Ensures the neckline maintains its shape and professional structure, even after multiple washes and long shifts.
Functional Chest Pocket: Located on the left side as worn, providing a practical space for essential tools or identification.
Back Yoke and Straight Hem: Provides a structured fit across the shoulders and a neat finish at the waist, allowing the shirt to be worn tucked in or left out depending on the required look.
Self-Coloured Buttons: Offers a cohesive and understated aesthetic that does not distract from your embroidered company logo.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a 65% polyester and 35% cotton blend, the UC710 utilizes the strengths of both fibres. The polyester provides necessary durability and colour retention, ensuring the black fabric remains deep and professional over time, while the cotton ensures the garment remains breathable against the skin. The poplin weave is characteristically tight and flat, resulting in a fabric that is both sturdy and lightweight. This makes it particularly suitable for indoor environments or warmer climates where temperature regulation is vital for staff performance.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth poplin surface of the UC710 is exceptionally well-suited for customisation. Embroidery is highly recommended for this garment; a well-executed logo on the chest or collar provides a superior, professional finish that communicates authority and attention to detail. For larger, more vibrant promotional designs, our printing processes offer high-definition results that stand out.

Practical Advice
Given the straight hem and poplin construction, we recommend ensuring a correct fit across the shoulders to allow the back yoke to function as intended. This shirt layers effectively under a tailored waistcoat or lightweight knitwear for a more formal ensemble without adding unnecessary bulk.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and technical performance of this garment, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is effective at removing common workplace stains and ensuring the shirt is properly sanitised for reuse in hospitality or retail environments.
Failure to follow these temperature guidelines or using harsh bleaching agents may compromise the polyester fibres and lead to premature fading of the black colour. Always wash with similar colours to prevent dye transfer.
The easy-care nature of the poplin blend means that if hung correctly after washing, ironing requirements are significantly reduced. When ironing is necessary, use a medium setting to avoid damaging the synthetic components of the fabric and to keep the stiffened collar in optimal condition.
