AS Colour Kids Classic L/S Tee | 3062

Description

The AS Colour Kids Classic Long Sleeve Tee brings the same fabric quality parents expect from adult blanks down to youth sizing. At 220GSM combed cotton, this is a heavyweight youth tee — built to survive the particular abuse that comes from recess, camp activities, and being worn three days in a row because it’s their favorite. The combed cotton construction means softer hand-feel without the looseness that makes cheaper youth tees look worn out after a few washes.

Who Orders It

Elementary schools and PTAs running spirit wear programs. Summer camps and day programs that need durable branded gear. Youth sports organizations building team apparel. Children’s brands developing retail-ready decorated pieces. Dance studios, theater programs, and after-school clubs. Churches and nonprofits with youth ministry programs. Any organization where the decorated apparel needs to survive a full school year of hard use.

Decoration

The 220GSM weight handles screen printing with excellent ink laydown — you get solid coverage without excessive ink buildup that stiffens the fabric. DTG prints cleanly on the combed cotton surface. For embroidery, the heavier weight provides enough stability for small logos on left chest placements, though keep stitch counts moderate for youth sizing. The long sleeves open up additional print locations for sleeve hits or full arm graphics. Preshrunk fabric means your decoration stays where you placed it after washing.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best?
Screen printing is the most popular choice for youth program orders — the heavyweight fabric handles multi-color prints without bleed-through. DTG works well for full-color or photographic designs. Embroidery is best kept to smaller placements given the youth sizing.

Will these hold up through a school year?
Yes. The 220GSM weight and double-needle stitching are specifically chosen for durability. These are not disposable event tees — they’re built to be worn weekly and washed repeatedly without losing shape or softness.

How does the sizing run?
AS Colour youth sizing runs true and consistent across production runs. The regular fit gives room for movement without being oversized. Check the size chart for specific measurements — youth sizing varies more than adult, so measuring is worth the time.

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.
