AS Colour Relax Zip Hood | 5162

Description

The AS Colour Relax Zip Hood sits in the sweet spot between heavyweight statement piece and everyday wearable layer. At 320GSM in a cotton/polyester CVC blend with recycled content, it’s substantial enough to feel intentional but not so heavy it gets left in the closet. The relaxed fit reads contemporary without swimming on the wearer — a silhouette that works for brand merch, staff uniforms, and retail-ready collections alike.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building cohesive collections. Creative agencies outfitting their teams. Coffee roasters and craft beverage brands wanting zip hoodies that look as considered as their product. Music venues and independent record labels. Nonprofit organizations running donor appreciation programs. Design studios and architecture firms who want staff apparel that doesn’t look like staff apparel.

Decoration

The structured front panels hold embroidery cleanly — left chest logos sit flat without distortion. For larger back prints, screen printing delivers solid opacity on the CVC blend, though expect slightly softer hand-feel than 100% cotton. DTG works well on the cotton-facing exterior, with good ink absorption and color accuracy. The relaxed cut means less tension across decorated areas, reducing cracking on prints over time. Avoid heavy plastisol builds on high-flex zones like the lower back.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best?
Embroidery on the left chest or back yoke delivers the cleanest results. Screen printing works well for larger graphics — use water-based or discharge inks for a softer hand on the CVC blend. DTG is viable for photographic or complex artwork.

Is this good for retail-quality brand merch?
Yes. The relaxed silhouette, quality hardware, and recycled content make this appropriate for brands selling hoodies at retail price points, not just giving them away.

How does the sizing run?
True relaxed fit. If your customers prefer a more tailored look, consider sizing down. For layering over other garments, order true to size.
