AS Colour Wo’s Relax Faded Hood | 4166

Description

The AS Colour Women’s Relax Faded Hood brings the lived-in aesthetic without the wait. The 320GSM cotton/poly blend with recycled content delivers midweight warmth in a relaxed silhouette, and the faded wash treatment gives each piece that worn-soft character from day one. This is the hoodie for programs where the vibe matters as much as the print.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building women’s collections with vintage appeal. Creative studios and design agencies ordering team gear that feels personal, not corporate. Nonprofit organizations running fundraiser merch where comfort drives repeat wear. Music venues and independent record labels. Yoga studios and wellness brands wanting relaxed silhouettes that layer well. Boutique retailers stocking curated basics with character.

Decoration

The 320GSM fleece face handles screen printing cleanly — the faded wash actually softens ink absorption slightly, giving prints a naturally broken-in look that complements the garment aesthetic. Embroidery sits well on the chest and hood, though keep stitch counts moderate on the body to preserve the relaxed drape. DTG works on this blend but expect subtle color shift on the pre-faded fabric — test prints recommended if exact color matching is critical. The CVC blend means slightly less absorbency than pure cotton, so discharge printing isn’t ideal here.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the faded wash?
Screen printing integrates beautifully — the faded base gives prints an instant vintage quality. For bold graphics, standard plastisol works. For softer hand-feel, water-based inks blend into the washed fabric naturally.

Is this good for retail merch programs?
Yes. The faded aesthetic and relaxed fit read as retail-ready, not promotional. Streetwear brands and boutique labels use it as a sellable piece, not just giveaway gear.

How does the sizing run?
Relaxed fit runs slightly roomier than standard women’s cuts. The dropped shoulder and wider body are intentional — size down if your customers prefer a closer fit.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated apparel programs start at 24–50 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
