AS Colour Section Zip Jacket | 5508

Description

The AS Colour Section Zip Jacket sits in that specific category of outerwear that works year-round — light enough for Southern California evenings, structured enough to carry embroidery without distortion. At 90GSM with recycled fiber content, it’s the kind of piece that brands reach for when they need a layering option that doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the look. Double-needle construction at stress points means this isn’t a one-season throwaway.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building out seasonal drops beyond tees and hoodies. Hospitality groups outfitting front-of-house staff with something more polished than a hoodie. Creative agencies and studios that want branded layers for the team without corporate stiffness. Event production companies needing lightweight crew jackets. Nonprofit organizations running outdoor programs where layers matter. Breweries and coffee roasters adding a premium piece to their merch lineup.

Decoration

The structured front panels hold embroidery cleanly — left chest and back yoke placements work well up to moderate stitch counts. Screen printing is viable on larger back areas, though the lightweight fabric means softer hand inks perform better than heavy plastisol deposits. For DTG, pretreat carefully and expect slightly lighter saturation than you’d get on a heavyweight blank. The zipper track limits front print placement, so plan artwork accordingly. Most programs run embroidered left chest with optional back print.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this jacket?
Embroidery is the most common choice — the structured panels hold stitching well without puckering. Screen printing works on back panels with softer inks. DTG is possible but requires careful pretreatment on the lighter weight fabric.

Is this substantial enough for staff uniforms?
It’s a true lightweight layer — excellent for indoor environments, mild climates, or as a branded piece over other layers. For heavier-duty outerwear needs, consider a mid-weight bomber or coach jacket instead.

How does the sizing run?
AS Colour cuts run true to contemporary streetwear sizing — slightly trimmer than traditional wholesale blanks. If your team prefers a relaxed fit or plans to layer underneath, consider sizing up.
