AS Colour Cord Shirt | 5419

Description

The AS Colour Cord Shirt brings corduroy back to where it belongs — in serious brand programs that need texture and weight without costume-shop kitsch. At 300GSM, this is a substantial piece. The wale pattern catches light in a way flat cotton can’t, and the construction holds up to the kind of repeated wear that turns a shirt into someone’s go-to layer.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building capsule collections around texture and heritage fabrication. Creative agencies and design studios that want staff apparel with visual depth. Coffee roasters and specialty retail brands where the uniform needs to look intentional, not issued. Music venues and record labels producing limited merch runs. Hospitality concepts — cocktail bars, boutique hotels — where the dress code has a point of view.

Decoration

Embroidery is the natural fit here. The corduroy texture adds visual interest underneath stitchwork, and the 300GSM weight provides enough stability to hold dense designs without puckering. Left chest and back yoke placements work cleanly. Screen printing is possible but requires consideration — the wale pattern will influence ink lay-down, which can be a feature or a limitation depending on the design. DTG is not recommended; the textured surface interferes with consistent ink absorption.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on corduroy?
Embroidery is the strongest choice. The textured surface and heavyweight construction hold stitchwork cleanly. Screen printing is workable but the wale pattern will affect the final look — test prints are recommended for detailed designs.

Is this good for retail-ready brand merch?
Yes. The 300GSM weight and corduroy texture position this as a premium piece, not a giveaway item. Brands use it for limited drops, staff uniforms at high-end hospitality spots, and capsule collections where the garment itself carries value.

How does the sizing run?
Regular fit with consistent sizing across production runs. It’s cut to layer over a tee or wear open as an overshirt. Size up if you want a roomier silhouette; true to size for a structured look.

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.
