AS Colour Staple Stripe Tee | 5028

Description

The AS Colour Staple Stripe Tee brings pattern into the mix without complicating your decoration. The classic horizontal stripe reads clean and intentional — the kind of shirt that signals a brand put thought into its merch program rather than grabbing the first solid tee on the rack. At 160GSM combed cotton, it sits in the sweet spot between substantial enough to feel considered and light enough for year-round wear.

Who Orders It

Coffee roasters and café groups building staff uniforms that feel less corporate. Coastal and surf-adjacent brands leaning into nautical heritage. Hospitality programs at beach clubs, waterfront restaurants, and resort properties. Streetwear labels adding variety to capsule drops. Record labels and music venues wanting crew shirts with personality. Boutique retail staff looking to stand out from generic black tees.

Decoration

The stripe pattern means placement matters more than on solids — chest prints and back panels work best when positioned to read cleanly against the horizontal lines. Screen printing lands well on the combed cotton surface, though high-contrast inks will compete with the stripe for attention. Keep designs simple and bold. Embroidery holds clean on the left chest, and the stripe actually helps hide minor registration variance. DTG is possible but test your artwork — detailed multi-color prints can get visually busy against the pattern.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on a stripe tee?
Screen printing with bold, simple graphics works best. Position artwork to sit cleanly within the stripe lines — centered chest or full back panels. Avoid intricate multi-color designs that fight with the pattern.

Is this good for restaurant or café uniforms?
Yes — this is one of the most popular uses. The stripe adds visual interest without looking like a costume, and the 160GSM weight handles service shifts comfortably without feeling flimsy.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with AS Colour’s standard regular fit. Consistent across production runs, which matters when you’re reordering for growing teams.
