AS Colour Stone Wash Barnard Tank | 5039

Description

The AS Colour Stone Wash Barnard Tank brings vintage character to a modern blank. The stone wash process softens the 160GSM combed cotton and gives each piece subtle variation — the kind of lived-in texture that makes printed designs feel intentional rather than applied. This is the tank you reach for when the standard crisp blank feels too clean for the aesthetic.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building summer capsule collections. Fitness studios and yoga brands that want softness without the premium price of garment-dyed alternatives. Surf and skate shops running seasonal merchandise. Music venues printing limited artist collaborations. Breweries and taprooms outfitting staff in something that reads relaxed. Beach town retailers stocking local-branded summer goods.

Decoration

The stone wash texture adds visual depth to screen printed graphics — ink sits slightly into the fabric rather than floating on top, giving prints an organic quality that works especially well for distressed or vintage-style artwork. DTG performs cleanly on the cotton base, though expect slight texture variation in solid coverage areas due to the wash treatment. Embroidery is possible but best kept to smaller left-chest placements where the softer fabric can be stabilized. Water-based and discharge inks complement the washed aesthetic particularly well.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on stone wash fabric?
Screen printing with water-based or discharge inks gives the most cohesive look — the ink integrates with the washed texture rather than sitting on top. DTG works well for detailed graphics. Avoid heavy plastisol coverage if you want to preserve the soft vintage feel.

Is this good for summer merchandise programs?
Yes. The 160GSM weight is light enough for warm weather without being see-through, and the stone wash finish means it looks good from day one — no break-in period needed.

How does the sizing run?
Regular fit with consistent sizing across production. The preshrunk construction means what you order is what you get after washing — no need to size up for anticipated shrinkage.

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.
