AS Colour Stencil Zip Hood | 5104

Description

The AS Colour Stencil Zip Hood is the full-zip version of AS Colour’s mid-heavyweight fleece program — 350GSM cotton-polyester blend with enough density to feel substantial without reading bulky. The CVC construction gives you a smooth face that takes decoration cleanly, while the recycled content in the blend speaks to buyers building sustainability-conscious programs. Double-needle stitching at stress points means this holds up through the kind of repeated washing that kills cheaper blanks.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building layering pieces that need to hold their own against premium retail. Music venues and touring acts ordering crew gear that survives a season on the road. Coffee roasters and craft beverage brands outfitting staff in something warmer than a tee. Nonprofit organizations running fundraiser merch programs where the hoodie is the flagship item. Creative agencies and studios building internal team gear that people actually want to wear outside the office.

Decoration

The CVC blend gives you a smoother print surface than pure cotton fleece — screen print lays down with solid ink adhesion and minimal fibrillation on darker colorways. Left chest embroidery sits clean on the 350GSM weight without puckering, and back panel prints have enough real estate for larger designs. DTG works well on the lighter colorways where the cotton content pulls ink properly. The full-zip construction means you’re working with two front panels — design placement needs to account for the zipper break if you’re going across the chest.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this hoodie?
Screen printing and embroidery both perform well. The CVC blend gives you a cleaner print surface than pure cotton fleece. For embroidery, the 350GSM weight holds stitching without backing showing through. DTG is viable on lighter colors.

Yes — this is exactly what it’s built for. The weight feels premium without being excessive, the construction survives regular washing, and the recycled content is a talking point for sustainability-focused brands.
