AS Colour Tech Jacket | 5526

Description

The AS Colour Tech Jacket is a modern lightweight shell built from recycled polyester — the kind of transitional layer that works year-round in Southern California and anywhere the weather stays mild. The fabric has a subtle technical hand without reading overly athletic, which makes it versatile enough for brand merchandise that needs to look intentional rather than promotional. Double-needle construction at stress points means it holds up through the kind of repeated wear that comes with staff uniforms and daily rotation pieces.

Who Orders It

Streetwear brands adding outerwear to their line without committing to heavyweight fabrication. Corporate programs looking for something sharper than a fleece for client-facing staff. Breweries and hospitality groups outfitting teams for patio season. Event production crews who need a professional layer that moves. Nonprofit organizations building donor gift packages with elevated branded apparel.

Decoration

The recycled polyester shell takes embroidery cleanly — the structured fabric provides stable backing for left-chest and back-yoke placements without puckering. For screen printing, water-based and discharge inks work on lighter colorways, though embroidery remains the preferred method for this fabrication. The smooth face also accepts heat transfer vinyl well for smaller runs or detailed designs. Avoid heavy plastisol builds that can compromise the lightweight hand-feel.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the Tech Jacket?
Embroidery is the go-to for this shell — the structured polyester holds stitches cleanly without distortion. Heat transfer works well for detailed graphics. Screen printing is possible on lighter colors but keep ink deposits light to preserve the jacket’s hand.

Is this good for staff uniforms?
Yes — the clean silhouette reads professional without looking like a standard-issue fleece, and the recycled content appeals to organizations with sustainability commitments. The lightweight construction means it works for both indoor and outdoor settings.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit. AS Colour sizing tends to be slightly more tailored than traditional American blanks — size up if your team prefers a looser fit or plans to layer underneath.
