AS Colour Made Crew | 5150

Description

The AS Colour Made Crew is the blank you reach for when the program demands weight. At 500GSM, this is not a layering piece or a giveaway item — it’s a statement garment built for brands that want their crewneck to feel like an investment. The 100% cotton construction holds embroidery without puckering and accepts screen print with the kind of ink saturation that lighter fleece simply cannot match.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building collections around heavyweight essentials. Music venues and record labels producing limited merch runs that need to feel premium at first touch. Creative agencies ordering internal gear that reflects brand standards. Nonprofit organizations marking milestone campaigns with apparel people actually want to keep. Breweries and coffee roasters building retail merchandise programs where the blank has to justify the price point.

Decoration

The structured 500GSM fabric holds embroidery exceptionally well — you can push stitch counts without distortion. Screen printing sits clean with strong ink opacity, though flash times may need adjustment for the heavier weight. DTG works on this cotton base, but test wash for hand-feel on large coverage areas. The double-needle stitching at seams means you’re not fighting fabric movement during hooping.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best?
Embroidery is the natural choice for this weight — the dense fabric holds complex designs without stabilizer showing through. Screen printing also performs well, particularly for chest and back placements where you want bold ink coverage.

Is this good for retail merch programs?
This is exactly what the 5150 is designed for. The weight and hand-feel justify premium pricing, and customers recognize the quality difference immediately. It’s a blank that makes the decorated piece feel like a finished product, not promotional gear.

How does the sizing run?
The Made Crew runs relaxed but true to size. It’s cut for an oversized streetwear silhouette rather than a fitted athletic look. If your buyers prefer a trimmer fit, consider sizing down.

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.
