AS Colour Active Work Polo | 5425

Description

The AS Colour Active Work Polo is what happens when workwear expectations meet blank apparel quality. At 185GSM, the 5425 hits the sweet spot for professional environments — substantial enough to look sharp through a full shift, light enough that your team isn’t overheating by noon. The recycled content in the fabric blend adds a sustainability story without compromising the hand-feel or decoration performance that matters to uniform buyers.

Who Orders It

Hotel and restaurant groups building front-of-house uniforms. Corporate offices replacing worn-out polos with something that actually fits well. Trade contractors who need embroidered company polos that won’t fall apart after three months. Fitness studios and wellness centers outfitting staff. Golf courses and country clubs. Auto dealerships. Property management teams. Anyone running a uniform program where the polo is the first thing customers see.

Decoration

The structured cotton fabric holds embroidery cleanly — left chest logos sit flat without puckering, and the collar area accepts back-of-neck branding without distortion. Screen printing works well for larger placements, though embroidery remains the standard for professional polo programs. The fabric weight prevents show-through on lighter colorways. DTG is viable but embroidery delivers the polished look most uniform programs expect from a polo.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5425?
Embroidery is the go-to for polo programs. The 185GSM cotton holds stitching cleanly at standard logo densities (8,000–12,000 stitches). Left chest placement is most common, with optional sleeve or back-of-neck branding.

Is this good for restaurant or hospitality uniforms?
Yes — it’s one of the better blanks for front-of-house staff. The weight is professional without being heavy, the preshrunk construction means consistent fit after laundering, and the recycled content gives you a sustainability angle if that matters to your brand.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular professional fit. Not slim, not boxy. Order your standard size for most body types. We recommend ordering samples if you’re outfitting a large team with mixed sizing needs.

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.
