AS Colour Classic Pocket Tee | 5027

Description

The AS Colour Classic Pocket Tee sits at the intersection of utility and premium construction. At 220GSM, it carries more weight than standard blanks — the kind of heft that reads as intentional when someone puts it on. Combed cotton gives it a cleaner surface and softer hand than ring-spun alternatives at this weight class. The chest pocket adds a design element that works equally well as a subtle logo placement or left undecorated as a style detail.

Who Orders It

Coffee roasters and craft beverage brands use this as staff uniform and retail merch — the pocket placement handles small embroidered logos cleanly. Streetwear labels building capsule collections choose it for the substantial feel that justifies retail pricing. Creative agencies and design studios order it for team apparel that doesn’t look like corporate issue. Record shops and indie bookstores stock it as house merch. Nonprofits running donor appreciation programs use it when they want the gift to feel considered, not promotional.

Decoration

The 220GSM weight and combed cotton construction make this one of the more forgiving blanks for screen printing — ink sits cleanly without bleeding, and the heavier fabric reduces show-through on darker colors. Left chest pocket placement works for embroidery up to 8,000 stitches without puckering; back yoke and full front prints both lay flat. DTG performs well on the cotton surface, though expect slightly more saturated results than on lighter-weight blanks. If you’re running pocket prints, confirm placement relative to the pocket seam during approval.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the pocket tee?
Screen printing delivers the cleanest results on this weight. For pocket logo placement, embroidery up to 8,000 stitches holds well. DTG works cleanly on the cotton surface — just note that heavier fabrics absorb more ink, which can intensify color slightly.

Is this good for retail merch programs?
Yes — the 220GSM weight and combed cotton feel justify retail pricing in a way that standard promo blanks don’t. Customers recognize the difference when they pick it up.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit. AS Colour runs consistent across production, so reorders match previous batches reliably. Check the size chart if your customers typically size up for oversized wear.
