AS Colour College Bomber Jacket | 5511

Description

The AS Colour College Bomber Jacket is the varsity-style blank that actually holds up to decoration. At 150GSM cotton with a recycled polyester lining, it’s built lighter than traditional bombers — which makes it wearable year-round in Southern California and coastal markets where heavy outerwear sits in closets. The structured front panels give embroidery a clean canvas, while the ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem add the athletic detailing that makes this silhouette work.

Who Orders It

Streetwear brands building capsule collections. Creative studios and agencies doing team jackets that people actually wear outside work. Restaurants and hospitality groups wanting front-of-house uniforms with more personality than a polo. Music venues and event crews. Nonprofit galas and fundraiser merch upgrades. Breweries and coffee roasters looking for something beyond the standard hoodie for their staff.

Decoration

The cotton shell takes embroidery exceptionally well — the 150GSM weight is substantial enough to hold stitching without puckering but not so heavy that you need specialty stabilizers. Left chest and back panel placements are standard. Screen printing works cleanly on the cotton face. DTG is possible but test your artwork first — the weave is tighter than a standard tee. The recycled poly lining means interior embroidery or printed labels require attention to stabilizer placement.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this jacket?
Embroidery is the clear winner. The structured cotton panels hold stitching cleanly at standard density, and the bomber silhouette looks best with chest or back embroidery rather than large printed graphics. Screen printing works but keep designs under 10×10 inches for best results on the curved panels.

Is this good for staff uniforms?
Yes — particularly for hospitality, retail, and creative businesses wanting uniforms that feel more like real clothing. The lighter weight means staff can actually wear it during shifts without overheating, and it layers well over branded tees.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular athletic fit. If your team plans to layer this over hoodies or heavier mid-layers, size up one. The ribbed hem and cuffs keep the silhouette clean even when sized up.
