AS Colour Canvas Heavy Jacket | 5527

Description

The AS Colour Canvas Heavy Jacket is a substantial piece — 470GSM of cotton/polyester blend canvas that reads as intentional workwear, not costume. This is the kind of jacket that anchors a uniform program or becomes the signature outerwear for a brand that wants to be taken seriously. The recycled content in the blend adds credibility for programs where sustainability matters, while the CVC construction keeps the hand-feel softer than pure canvas.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building capsule collections that need outerwear with presence. Coffee roasters and craft beverage brands outfitting production staff. Construction and trade companies that want crew jackets with real durability. Creative agencies and design studios building team apparel that doubles as brand representation. Nonprofit organizations creating limited-run merch for major donors. Music venues and festivals outfitting backstage crews.

Decoration

The 470GSM canvas weight is ideal for embroidery — structured enough to support dense stitch counts without puckering, heavy enough that even large back designs stay flat. Screen printing holds well on the cotton-facing surface, though water-based inks will absorb slightly differently than on lighter fabrics. For DTG, pretreatment takes cleanly on the blend. The double-needle stitching at stress points means your decoration won’t be competing with early garment failure. Left chest embroidery and back yoke prints are the most common placements.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5527?
Embroidery is the natural choice — the heavy canvas holds stitching beautifully without stabilizer showing through. Screen printing works well for bold graphics, especially plastisol inks that sit on top of the weave. DTG is viable but test your artwork on the blend first.

Is this heavy enough for actual workwear use?
Yes. At 470GSM with double-needle stress point stitching, this jacket handles daily wear in production environments, shops, and outdoor work. It’s not insulated, but it layers well and holds up to repeated washing.

How does the sizing run?
AS Colour cuts run true to modern sizing with a regular fit. The jacket is designed to layer over tees or light mid-layers — if your team wears heavy hoodies underneath, consider sizing up.
