AS Colour Relax Hood | 5161

Description

The AS Colour Relax Hood sits in the sweet spot between structured and lived-in. At 320GSM, the cotton-polyester blend fleece has enough weight to feel substantial without turning into a sweat trap. The relaxed cut through the body and sleeves gives it the kind of easy silhouette that streetwear brands and creative studios gravitate toward — not oversized, just comfortable in the way that makes people actually wear the thing.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building collections that need to hold up across seasons. Creative agencies outfitting their teams with gear people will actually wear outside the office. Music venues and record labels running limited merch drops. Coffee roasters and breweries wanting something their staff can layer into during early shifts. Nonprofit organizations producing donor appreciation pieces that feel like real apparel, not promotional afterthoughts. Brand launches where the hoodie is the product, not just a carrier for a logo.

Decoration

The 320GSM fleece face takes screen printing cleanly — ink sits on the surface without bleeding into the knit. For embroidery, the blend holds stitching at higher density without excessive puckering, though we recommend staying under 12,000 stitches for chest placements to maintain the relaxed drape. DTG works well on the cotton-forward blend, with solid color saturation on lighter colorways. The recycled content in the fabric doesn’t affect print quality. Preshrunk construction means your artwork stays where you placed it after washing.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5161?
Screen printing delivers the cleanest results on the fleece face. Embroidery works well for left-chest and sleeve placements — just keep designs under 12K stitches to preserve the relaxed hand-feel. DTG prints with strong saturation, especially on natural and lighter tones.

Is this good for staff uniforms or just merch drops?
Both. The preshrunk construction and double-needle stitching mean it holds up through commercial laundering cycles. Plenty of hospitality and retail teams order these for daily wear because the relaxed fit stays comfortable through full shifts.

How does the sizing run?
True to the relaxed fit designation — roomier through the chest and sleeves than a standard hoodie. If your team prefers a closer fit, consider sizing down. We can send a size sample before committing to a full run.

What’s the minimum order for custom decoration?
We work with programs from 12 pieces. Most decorated hoodie programs start at 24–48 pieces. Request a quote and we’ll work with your specific order size.
