Leading the Way in Recycled Custom Sportswear & Team Apparel
Scimitar was the first UK custom sportswear manufacturer to offer recycled polyester options across custom team uniforms, jerseys, and performance apparel.
In 2018, we developed six core custom sportswear products that could be produced using 100% recycled polyester, giving teams, clubs, and organizations a more sustainable apparel option.
Today, our recycled custom sportswear range has expanded to more than 100 products, giving teams, clubs, events, and organizations a wider choice of sustainable apparel options.
From running singlets, running T-shirts, and cycling jerseys to base layers, leggings, shorts, and team apparel, our recycled custom sportswear range continues to grow as our garment technologists develop new sustainable product options.
All Qwick-Dri™ recycled custom sportswear products include a free UPF protection upgrade, helping protect athletes, teams, and event participants from harmful UV rays.
What is Scimitar recycled sportswear?
Every minute, around one million plastic bottles are sold worldwide, highlighting the scale of plastic consumption and the need for more sustainable material choices.
That’s where our use of rPET in recycled custom sportswear comes in, helping turn post-consumer plastic into high-performance apparel for teams, clubs, and events.
rPET, or recycled polyethylene terephthalate, is a form of recycled polyester made by cleaning, shredding, and converting post-consumer plastic bottles into yarn for use in recycled custom sportswear and performance apparel.
Every recycled custom T-shirt we produce reuses six plastic bottles, helping divert plastic waste from landfill and oceans while creating high-performance recycled sportswear.

Differences don’t exist

Combined with a lightweight fit and high-quality construction, Scimitar offers one of the strongest recycled sportswear ranges available.
