Product Overview
The UX Children's Sweatshirt is a foundational garment designed specifically for the rigours of school life and active youth environments. Produced by Uneek Clothing, this medium-weight sweatshirt balances daily comfort with the structural integrity required for repeated wear. It serves as a reliable staple for any uniform requirement, providing a professional appearance that stands up to the demands of the playground and the classroom alike.
Key Features
- Twin needle stitching at the neck, shoulders, armholes, and sleeves provides reinforced seams that resist fraying and separation under stress.
- Reactive dyed fabric ensures the colour remains deep and consistent, preventing the faded look that often occurs with frequent laundering.
- An integrated name tag on the neck label offers a practical solution for identification in communal school or club environments.
- Lycra ribbed cuffs, welt, and neck help the garment retain its shape and prevent sagging, ensuring a tidy fit over time.
- Set-in sleeves offer a structured and traditional silhouette suitable for formal school or team uniforms.
Design & Performance
The fabric composition of 50% polyester and 50% cotton offers a harmonious blend of natural breathability and synthetic resilience. The interior of the fabric has undergone a brushing process to create a soft, fleece-like texture. This brushed effect provides superior comfort against the skin and adds a layer of thermal insulation without making the garment overly heavy.
The use of reactive dyes is a technical choice that bonds the pigment directly to the fibres, which is essential for maintaining the professional appearance of school colours throughout the academic year. The inclusion of Lycra in the ribbing is a specific engineering detail designed to allow the garment to move with the wearer while always returning to its original form.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The UX7 is an exceptional candidate for both print and embroidery. For school crests, club emblems, or individual names, embroidery provides a textured, premium finish that is exceptionally durable. For larger, high-impact designs or event-based branding, our precision printing techniques ensure bold visibility and crisp lines.
Our in-house technical team in Telford has been managing garment customisation since 1976. We understand how the 50/50 poly-cotton blend reacts to different branding methods, ensuring that your logo is applied with the highest level of accuracy and longevity.
Use Cases
This sweatshirt is primarily designed for primary and secondary school uniforms, but its durability makes it equally suitable for junior sports clubs, scouting groups, and community youth organisations. It is an ideal choice for any setting where a consistent, professional group identity is required.

Practical Advice
The medium-weight nature of this sweatshirt makes it a versatile layering piece. It fits comfortably over a standard polo shirt or formal school shirt. When selecting a size for children, consider that the Lycra ribbing provides a firm fit, so if a more relaxed feel is desired, a size up may be appropriate.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and colour vibrancy of this sweatshirt, we recommend a domestic wash at 60°C. This temperature is technically proficient at removing stubborn stains and bacteria common in children's wear while preserving the reactive dye bond.
Failure to follow these temperature guidelines may lead to insufficient cleaning or, conversely, unnecessary wear on the polyester fibres. Always wash the garment inside out to protect any custom embroidery or print from mechanical abrasion during the wash cycle. Proper care ensures the sweatshirt remains in service for the duration of the school year.
