AS Colour Staple Minus Tee [-5cm] 5074

Description

The AS Colour Staple Minus Tee is the answer to a specific fit problem: buyers who want the fabric quality and decoration performance of the Staple Tee, but need a shorter body length. The 5074 takes 5cm off the standard Staple cut, landing at a cropped silhouette that works for contemporary streetwear, dance and fitness programs, and brands targeting customers who prefer modern proportions over traditional oversized length.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building capsule collections where fit is part of the brand identity. Dance studios and fitness programs ordering performance-adjacent apparel that moves with the body. Fashion-forward nonprofit merch programs targeting younger demographics. Music venues and festival organizers producing limited runs that need to look intentional, not like afterthought promotional wear. Boutique brands where a standard tee length would undermine the aesthetic they’re selling.

Decoration

Same print-readiness as the standard Staple — the 180GSM combed cotton accepts screen print ink with clean registration and consistent coverage across large runs. DTG prints hold detail well on the tight cotton weave. Embroidery sits flat without puckering at standard stitch counts. The shorter body means print placement matters more — chest prints land differently, and full-front designs need adjusted positioning. We’ll work with you on artwork placement during quoting.

Common Questions

What’s the actual difference from the regular Staple Tee?
Identical fabric, weight, and construction — the only change is 5cm removed from the body length. Same neck, same sleeve, same shoulder. If you’ve printed on the 5001, you already know how this one behaves.

Is this a women’s cut?
No — it’s a unisex regular fit with a shorter body. Works across the size range for anyone who prefers cropped proportions. Pairs well with high-waisted bottoms or as a layering piece.

Do I need to adjust my artwork for the shorter length?
Yes, especially for larger prints. Standard full-front placements may need to shift up. We’ll review placement with you before production to make sure everything lands where it should.

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.

If you’re building a program where fit matters as much as fabric, start your quote on the 5074 and we’ll handle the rest.
