AS Colour Stone Wash Heavy Tee | 5085

Description

The AS Colour Stone Wash Heavy Tee brings the weight and hand-feel of a vintage find to a blank that’s ready for decoration. At 220GSM, it sits in heavyweight territory — substantial enough to drape properly and hold its structure, but not so thick that it becomes a summer liability. The stone wash finish gives each piece that lived-in character from day one, which means your decorated apparel arrives looking like something worth keeping rather than another disposable promo tee.

Who Orders It

Streetwear brands building collections where the blank is part of the aesthetic. Music venues and record labels running limited merch drops. Creative agencies that need staff apparel to actually get worn. Coffee roasters and craft beverage brands whose customers expect elevated basics. Nonprofit organizations launching campaigns where the shirt quality reinforces the mission. Brand launches where first impressions matter and the garment needs to feel premium in hand.

Decoration

The 220GSM fabric weight provides a stable surface for screen printing — ink sits cleanly without bleeding, and the heavier construction prevents show-through on darker prints. DTG performs well on the cotton face, though expect some variation in the stone wash areas to interact with lighter inks in ways that can enhance the vintage look. Embroidery holds at standard stitch counts without puckering. The relaxed fit means chest placement runs slightly wider than fitted alternatives — adjust artwork positioning accordingly.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on stone wash fabric?
Screen printing delivers the most consistent results — the heavier ink deposit handles the textured surface well. DTG works but lighter inks may show some variation where the wash is more pronounced, which often adds to the aesthetic. Embroidery is reliable across all colorways.

Is this good for a streetwear drop or limited release?
This is exactly what the 5085 is built for. The stone wash finish and heavyweight feel position it as a garment people want to keep, not another forgettable promo piece. The vintage character makes it feel curated rather than mass-produced.

How does the sizing run on the relaxed fit?
The relaxed cut runs slightly roomier through the body with a dropped shoulder. If your audience prefers fitted styles, consider sizing down. For the intended oversized streetwear look, order true to size.

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.
