Product Overview
The Uneek Olympic T-shirt is a fundamental piece for any organisation requiring a reliable, professional-looking garment that does not compromise on comfort. Engineered from high-quality cotton, this unisex t-shirt provides a clean, consistent base for company branding while ensuring the wearer remains comfortable throughout the working day. Its classic crew neck design and refined finish make it a versatile choice for businesses across various sectors looking to maintain a uniform appearance.
Key Features
- Enzyme Washed Fabric: This technical treatment creates an exceptionally soft feel against the skin and significantly reduces the risk of shrinkage, ensuring the garment maintains its original fit after repeated laundering.
- Reactive Dyed: The use of reactive dyes ensures the colour remains deep and consistent, preventing the faded appearance that often affects lower-quality garments.
- Twin Needle Stitching: Reinforced stitching at the sleeves and bottom hem provides essential durability in high-wear areas, extending the service life of the t-shirt.
- Taped Neck: A taped neck seam offers additional comfort against the skin and helps the collar retain its shape, preventing it from stretching out during daily use.
Design & Performance
The design of the Olympic T-shirt focuses on long-term durability and the daily experience of the wearer. By utilising 100% ring-spun combed cotton, Uneek has created a lightweight fabric that is both highly breathable and smooth. The combing process removes shorter fibres and impurities, resulting in a stronger, finer yarn that produces a superior finish compared to standard cotton.
This construction translates to a garment that feels substantial despite its lightweight nature, making it an ideal choice for indoor environments or as a base layer in more demanding conditions. The enzyme-washed finish is a particular highlight, breaking down surface fibres to create a smooth, lint-free surface that is as durable as it is comfortable.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The fine-knit surface of the ring-spun combed cotton makes this garment an excellent candidate for both print and embroidery. Our Telford-based team, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, manages all customisation in-house to ensure a superior finish.
Embroidery is the recommended choice for those seeking a traditional, professional appearance, particularly for chest logos or staff names. It provides a textured, durable finish that stands up well to frequent washing. For larger, more graphic designs, printing offers a sharp and bold result that is highly visible. Because the fabric is reactive dyed, it provides a stable and colour-fast background for any branding you choose to apply.
Use Cases
This t-shirt is exceptionally versatile, making it suitable for the sports and leisure industry, retail environments, or as a reliable base layer for tradespeople. Its unisex fit makes it a practical solution for outfitting a diverse workforce, ensuring everyone on the team looks part of the same professional outfit.

Practical Advice
As a lightweight cotton garment, this t-shirt is perfectly suited for layering under sweatshirts or jackets. For the best result, we recommend choosing your standard size, as the ring-spun construction and enzyme washing work together to provide a consistent and reliable fit that resists the distortion often seen in cheaper alternatives.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the integrity of your workwear is essential for longevity and to keep your branding looking its best. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C. This temperature is effective for removing daily grime and perspiration while protecting the natural cotton fibres from the heat degradation that can occur in hotter cycles.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents. These substances can break down the reactive dyes and weaken the combed cotton fibres, leading to premature thinning of the fabric and a loss of colour vibrancy. When drying, air drying or using a low-heat setting is preferable to prevent the fabric from becoming brittle, which helps maintain the soft hand-feel and ensures your custom embroidery or print remains intact for as long as possible.
