AS Colour Classic L/S Tee | 5071

Description

The AS Colour Classic L/S Tee is the heavyweight long sleeve that streetwear brands and seasonal programs reach for when a standard weight won’t cut it. At 220GSM combed cotton, the 5071 carries real heft — the kind that drapes properly, holds its shape through a year of wear, and gives screen print ink a stable foundation that doesn’t crack or fade after the first few washes.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building fall/winter collections. Music venues running tour merch that needs to last beyond the show. Breweries and coffee roasters with staff who work year-round in variable temps. Nonprofits producing donor appreciation gear that should feel like a gift, not a giveaway. Skate and surf brands that need long sleeves for early morning sessions. Schools and athletic programs ordering spirit wear that won’t look worn out by semester’s end.

Decoration

The 220GSM weight handles screen printing exceptionally well — ink sits cleanly on the combed cotton surface without bleed, and the fabric stability means multi-color registration stays tight across large runs. DTG prints hold detail cleanly on the natural cotton base. Embroidery works well on chest and sleeve placements; the fabric weight prevents puckering at standard stitch counts. For oversized back prints, this is one of the better long sleeve blanks — the heavier weight keeps the fabric from bunching under squeegee pressure.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5071?
Screen printing is the natural choice for this blank — the heavyweight cotton holds plastisol and water-based inks cleanly without show-through. DTG performs well on lighter colorways. Embroidery is solid for left chest and sleeve hits.

Is this good for seasonal merch drops?
Yes. The 220GSM weight makes it a genuine fall/winter piece, not a thin long sleeve pretending to be one. Customers will actually wear it through the season.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit. AS Colour cuts tend to be slightly more tailored than American commodity blanks — size up if your audience prefers a relaxed fit.
