AS Colour Supply Crew | 5100

Description

The AS Colour Supply Crew is the midweight fleece that print shops actually recommend. At 290GSM, the cotton-poly blend hits the weight sweet spot — substantial enough to feel premium in hand, light enough for year-round Southern California wear. The CVC construction means the cotton face takes ink beautifully while the polyester core keeps the garment from shrinking out of spec after washing. This is the crew that looks as good on the 50th wear as it did leaving the shop.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building collections that need to hold up to daily rotation. Coffee roasters and craft breweries outfitting staff in something that reads premium without the dry-clean-only hassle. Nonprofit organizations running fundraiser campaigns where the quality of the merch reflects the quality of the mission. Creative agencies ordering crew gifts that people actually wear outside the office. Music venues and record labels building fan merch programs that justify the price point.

Decoration

The cotton-dominant face handles screen printing with excellent ink adhesion and color vibrancy — you’ll get clean lines and saturated coverage across the chest and back. DTG prints well on the lighter colorways with minimal pretreat visibility. The 290GSM weight provides enough structure for embroidery up to 12,000 stitches without puckering, though proper backing is essential on larger chest logos. For left-chest placement, this fabric is embroidery-ideal. Vinyl and heat transfer adhere cleanly with standard time and temp settings.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this crew?
Screen printing delivers the cleanest results across all colorways. The cotton face absorbs ink well with minimal bleed. For smaller placements like left-chest logos, embroidery is excellent — the 290GSM weight holds stitching without distortion.

Is this good for staff uniforms that get washed frequently?
Yes. The preshrunk CVC blend was designed for exactly this. The polyester content prevents the excessive shrinkage you get with 100% cotton fleece, and the double-needle construction handles commercial laundering.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit. Not boxy, not slim — a straightforward crew cut. If your team typically orders up for oversized streetwear fit, continue that pattern here.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
