AS Colour Barnard Tank | 5025

Description

The AS Colour Barnard Tank is the lightweight summer blank that actually holds up to decoration. At 150GSM combed cotton, it’s light enough for hot weather wear but dense enough to accept screen print ink without distortion. The construction details matter here — bound armholes and neckline that won’t stretch out, double-needle hem stitching, and a preshrunk body that maintains its dimensions through the wash cycles your customers will put it through.

Who Orders It

Gyms and fitness studios building branded tanks for members and staff. Yoga and wellness brands creating summer collections. Streetwear labels dropping seasonal capsules. Breweries and taprooms outfitting their floor teams for warmer months. Beach towns and surf shops stocking local-branded tanks. Music festivals and outdoor event organizers. Crossfit boxes running member appreciation programs. Nonprofit fun runs and charity athletic events.

Decoration

Screen printing is the primary method here — the 150GSM combed cotton lays flat and accepts plastisol and water-based inks cleanly. For DTG, the natural cotton base prints well with minimal pretreatment bleed. Keep embroidery designs compact and avoid heavy stitch counts on the shoulders where the lightweight fabric could pucker. The bound edges mean your print zone is the front and back body panels — work within those boundaries and you’ll get consistent results across the run.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the Barnard Tank?
Screen printing delivers the cleanest results on this weight. The combed cotton surface accepts ink evenly, and the 150GSM weight is enough to prevent show-through on darker colors. DTG works well for photographic or full-color designs on lighter shades.

Is this a good tank for gym or fitness merch?
Yes — it’s one of our most-ordered tanks for fitness programs. The lightweight construction breathes during workouts, the bound armholes stay put during movement, and the preshrunk body means your members get consistent fit from their first wear.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit through the body. Not oversized streetwear cut, not slim athletic fit — sits in the middle. Order your standard size for most customers.

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.
