AS Colour Service Jacket | 5523

Description

The AS Colour Service Jacket is the kind of blank that makes uniform programs feel intentional. At 300GSM in a cotton-polyester blend with recycled content, it carries enough weight to read as quality outerwear without the bulk that makes all-day wear uncomfortable. The construction is built around durability — double-needle stitching at stress points, preshrunk fabric that holds its dimensions, and a structured hand-feel that takes embroidery and screen printing without distortion.

Who Orders It

Coffee shops and cafes outfitting front-of-house staff. Breweries and taprooms building a cohesive team look. Retail brands that want employees in something better than a polo. Creative agencies and design studios where the dress code is casual but the standards aren’t. Trade programs and service businesses that need workwear with brand presence. Hotels and hospitality groups moving away from stiff corporate uniforms.

Decoration

The 300GSM weight and structured fabric make this jacket ideal for left-chest embroidery — it holds stitching cleanly without puckering, even at higher stitch counts. Back embroidery runs well across the panel. Screen printing adheres evenly on the cotton-poly blend, with good ink saturation and minimal hand-feel change. DTG is viable but test your specific artwork — the blended fabric can affect color vibrancy compared to 100% cotton. For most uniform programs, embroidery is the move.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this jacket?
Embroidery is the strongest choice — the 300GSM weight holds stitching without puckering and the structured fabric keeps logos clean through repeated washing. Screen printing works well for larger back or chest graphics.

Is this good for staff uniforms?
This is exactly what it’s built for. The weight is substantial enough to feel like real outerwear, the preshrunk fabric stays consistent across your team after washing, and the styling works for customer-facing environments from cafes to retail floors.

How does the sizing run?
AS Colour runs a regular contemporary fit — not oversized, not slim. It’s cut to layer comfortably over a tee or light shirt. If your team prefers a looser fit for movement, consider sizing up one.
