AS Colour Chore Jacket | 5522

Description

The AS Colour Chore Jacket is the kind of blank that makes uniform programs feel intentional. At 300GSM, it’s a heavyweight cotton construction that reads as quality the moment someone puts it on — substantial without feeling stiff, structured enough to hold its shape through a full work week. This is workwear styling stripped of the costume, built to take custom decoration and actually get worn.

Who Orders It

Coffee roasters and specialty food producers outfit their teams in these. Creative agencies use them as client gifts that people actually keep. Breweries and taprooms build staff uniforms around them. Architecture firms and design studios order them for project teams. Small hospitality groups — the ones that care about what their people wear — choose the 5522 over generic workwear because it looks like someone made a decision, not like someone placed a bulk order.

Decoration

The 300GSM cotton takes embroidery exceptionally well — the fabric weight prevents puckering even on detailed chest logos up to 12,000 stitches. Screen printing lays down clean with excellent ink adhesion on the dense cotton weave. DTG prints well on the natural cotton base, though expect slightly longer cure times given the fabric weight. Left chest placement is standard for most programs; back yoke prints work for larger branding. The structured collar and placket areas hold their shape during embroidery without stabilizer bleed-through.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5522?
Embroidery is the natural choice for this jacket — the heavyweight cotton holds stitching cleanly without distortion. Screen printing also works well for larger back or chest graphics. Both methods produce durable results that match the jacket’s build quality.

Is this good for staff uniforms?
Yes — this is one of the most-ordered blanks for hospitality and retail staff programs. The weight feels premium without being restrictive, and the chore jacket styling works across casual and semi-professional settings.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit. The cut accommodates layering over a tee or light sweater. If your team runs between sizes, size up — the preshrunk construction means what you order is what you get after washing.

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.
