AS Colour Heavy Faded Tank | 5084

Description

The AS Colour Heavy Faded Tank is the rare heavyweight tank that doesn’t feel like a costume. At 240GSM, it carries real weight — the kind that drapes properly and feels intentional on the body rather than flimsy or disposable. The faded wash treatment gives each piece a broken-in character from day one, which means your decoration sits on a garment that already looks like it belongs in someone’s rotation.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels use this as the foundation for limited drops where the garment itself needs to make a statement. Gym and fitness brands order it for branded tanks that don’t look like generic athletic wear. Music venues and festival merch programs choose it when they want something that reads as premium at the booth. Tattoo shops and creative studios build staff uniforms around it. Nonprofit organizations running summer campaigns appreciate the durability and the vintage aesthetic that doesn’t scream “volunteer tee.”

Decoration

The 240GSM weight holds screen printing ink exceptionally well — you get solid coverage without bleed, and the faded base adds visual depth to single-color prints. DTG performs cleanly on the cotton construction, though note that the vintage wash creates slight color variation that can enhance distressed design styles. For embroidery, the heavyweight fabric provides excellent stitch stability without puckering. Keep in mind the armhole and neckline placement when positioning side or chest logos.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this tank?
Screen printing is ideal — the heavyweight cotton absorbs ink cleanly and the faded wash adds character to printed designs. DTG also works well on the cotton base. Embroidery holds without issue given the fabric weight.

Is this good for gym or fitness merch?
Yes. The relaxed fit and heavyweight construction make it a strong choice for fitness brands that want branded tanks with real substance — not the thin, disposable athletic tanks that fall apart after a few washes.

How does the sizing run?
Relaxed fit with a bit more room through the body than a standard fitted tank. The preshrunk treatment means sizing stays consistent after washing. Size up if you want an oversized streetwear 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.
