AS Colour Relax Half Zip Hood | 5164

Description

The AS Colour Relax Half Zip Hood sits in the space between casual pullover and structured outerwear — a 320GSM cotton-poly fleece with the kind of relaxed silhouette that streetwear programs and creative brands actually want. The half-zip construction opens up placement options that standard pullovers don’t offer, while the recycled cotton-poly blend delivers the soft hand-feel buyers expect from AS Colour without sacrificing decoration stability.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building collections that need to feel intentional, not basic. Creative agencies and design studios ordering team gear that people actually wear outside work. Music venues and record labels running merch programs. Nonprofits and advocacy organizations wanting elevated donor apparel. Coffee roasters, breweries, and hospitality brands outfitting staff in something better than the standard hoodie. Schools and universities looking for spirit wear that doesn’t read as generic.

Decoration

The 320GSM fleece face accepts screen print ink with solid coverage and minimal bleed — the cotton content in the CVC blend helps ink sit crisp. Left chest embroidery is the natural placement with the half-zip design, and the structured fabric holds detail at high stitch counts without puckering. DTG prints cleanly on the back panel. One consideration: the relaxed cut means slightly more fabric movement, so placement accuracy matters during setup. The recycled fiber content doesn’t affect decoration performance.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5164?
Screen printing and embroidery both perform well. The half-zip design makes left chest embroidery the most common placement. For larger back prints, screen printing gives the cleanest result on the fleece face.

Is this good for branded merchandise programs?
This is exactly where the 5164 excels. The relaxed fit and premium hand-feel make it the kind of piece people keep wearing — which is what you want when your logo is on it.

How does the sizing run?
True to the relaxed fit designation — expect a roomier cut through the body and sleeves compared to standard-fit hoodies. Size down if you want a more fitted look.
