AS Colour Stencil Crew | 5103

Description

The AS Colour Stencil Crew is the fleece blank that streetwear brands and independent labels reach for when they need weight without stiffness. At 350GSM, this cotton-polyester blend sits in the sweet spot — substantial enough to feel premium, soft enough to wear daily. The CVC construction with recycled content gives you that brushed interior hand-feel buyers expect from elevated basics while maintaining the print stability decorators need for clean production runs.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building capsule collections. Music venues and record labels running merch programs. Creative agencies doing branded apparel for client launches. Nonprofits wanting elevated donor appreciation pieces that actually get worn. Skate shops and surf brands needing a crew that matches the quality of their hardgoods. Coffee roasters and breweries stepping up from standard promo fleece to something their staff will reach for on cold mornings.

Decoration

The 350GSM weight and cotton-poly blend make this crew exceptionally stable under decoration. Screen printing lays down clean with minimal absorption variance — the polyester content keeps ink sitting on the surface for vibrant color. Embroidery holds at higher stitch counts without puckering thanks to the dense fleece construction. DTG prints well on lighter colorways; expect slightly softer hand-feel on darker bases with white underbase. The preshrunk fabric means your decoration placement stays where you put it through wash cycles.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 5103?
Screen printing delivers the cleanest results — the dense fleece and poly content give you sharp edges and saturated color. Embroidery works well up to 12,000 stitches without distortion. DTG is viable but best suited for lighter colorways to avoid heavy underbase buildup.

Is this good for a streetwear drop or brand launch?
This is exactly what it’s built for. The 350GSM weight feels retail-quality, the fit is modern without being fashion-forward, and the construction holds up to the kind of repeated wear that builds brand loyalty. It photographs well and hangs properly on the body.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a regular fit. Not oversized streetwear proportions — if your buyers want that dropped shoulder look, size up. Consistent sizing across production runs means reorders match original batches.

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.
