AS Colour Staple Raglan Tee | 5001R

Description

The AS Colour Staple Raglan Tee takes everything that works about the standard 5001 — the 180GSM combed cotton, the preshrunk stability, the consistent sizing — and adds the contrast sleeve construction that gives designers more to work with. The raglan cut creates cleaner shoulder lines and a distinct silhouette that reads as intentional rather than default. It’s the same fabric reliability with a built-in design element.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building collections that need more visual range than standard crew necks. Music venues and concert merch programs where the raglan sleeve reads as classic without being retro. Brewery taprooms wanting staff tees that look put-together without looking corporate. Creative agencies ordering team gear that stands apart from the standard tech company uniform. Youth sports programs and recreational leagues where the two-tone styling adds team identity without requiring complex decoration.

Decoration

The 180GSM combed cotton accepts screen printing with clean ink absorption and minimal bleed. DTG prints hold well on the cotton substrate with standard pretreatment. For embroidery, the fabric weight supports designs up to 8,000–10,000 stitches without puckering — keep chest logos reasonably sized and you’ll get clean results. The contrast sleeves open up two-color design possibilities: run your main graphic on the body and let the sleeve color do the accent work, or keep decoration minimal and let the garment’s construction carry the look.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5001R?
Screen printing is the most popular choice — the combed cotton takes ink cleanly and the contrast sleeves give you built-in color blocking. DTG works well for detailed full-color artwork. Embroidery holds at moderate stitch counts; keep chest logos under 10K stitches for best results.

Is this good for team uniforms or staff apparel?
Yes. The raglan construction creates a cohesive look across different body types, and the two-tone styling adds visual interest without requiring extra decoration. Popular with brewery staff, event crews, and recreational sports teams.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit. AS Colour maintains tight tolerances across production runs, so reorders match previous batches. The preshrunk fabric means minimal change after washing.
