Product Overview
The Uneek UC205 Olympic Sweatshirt is a cornerstone of professional workwear, designed to provide a balance of comfort and utility for various industrial and commercial settings. This medium-weight sweatshirt is engineered from a dependable blend of polyester and cotton, ensuring it offers the warmth required for outdoor tasks without the bulk that can hinder movement. It is a versatile unisex garment that serves as an excellent foundation for a cohesive company uniform.
Key Features
- 50% Polyester / 50% Cotton Blend: This composition provides the breathable comfort of cotton with the hard-wearing, shrink-resistant properties of polyester.
- Twin Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching at the neck, shoulders, armholes, and sleeves ensures the garment remains intact even under significant physical strain.
- Reactive Dyed Fabric: The fibres are treated with reactive dyes to ensure colour depth and long-term vibrancy, preventing the garment from looking washed out after heavy use.
- Lycra Ribbed Components: The cuffs, welt, and neck feature Lycra ribbing, which allows the sweatshirt to retain its shape and snug fit throughout the working day.
- Enzyme Washed: This process enhances the softness of the fabric and significantly reduces the likelihood of pilling, maintaining a professional appearance for longer.
Design & Performance
The design of the UC205 focuses on durability and wearer experience. The inclusion of set-in sleeves provides a more structured and formal silhouette compared to standard leisurewear, making it suitable for client-facing roles. Internally, the fabric features a brushed effect, which creates a soft, insulated layer against the skin, providing superior comfort during long shifts.
Performance is further bolstered by the enzyme washing process, which stabilises the fabric and ensures that the medium-weight material feels substantial yet flexible. The twin-needle stitching is not merely an aesthetic choice; it is a technical necessity that prevents seam failure at high-tension points like the shoulders and armholes.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The UC205 is a highly adaptable garment for branding. For a professional appearance that conveys authority and longevity, we recommend embroidery. The stable knit of the 50/50 blend allows for high-stitch-count logos to sit flat without puckering the surrounding material.
Alternatively, the smooth surface of this sweatshirt is perfectly suited for print customisation, which is ideal for large-scale branding or promotional messaging on the back of the garment. All customisation is overseen by our expert in-house team in Telford, drawing on a heritage of workwear excellence that began in 1976.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is an ideal choice for staff in the logistics, construction, and maintenance sectors who require a robust layer that can withstand daily wear. It is equally effective for retail or hospitality staff working in cooler environments, such as garden centres or warehouses, where a smart but functional appearance is mandatory.

Practical Advice
The UC205 is a unisex fit; we suggest reviewing our size guide to ensure the correct selection for your team. Because it is a medium-weight garment, it layers exceptionally well over a technical polo shirt or under a high-visibility waistcoat without restricting the wearer's range of motion.
Caring for your product
To ensure your workwear continues to perform and represent your brand effectively, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is sufficient to break down oils and dirt common in trade environments while protecting the integrity of the fabric blend.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh oxidising agents, as these will degrade the polyester fibres and cause the reactive dyes to fade prematurely. When drying, it is best to avoid high-heat settings to prevent any potential shrinkage and to protect the longevity of your embroidered or printed branding.
