AS Colour Wo’s Basic Tee | 4051

Description

The AS Colour Women’s Basic Tee is the female counterpart to the brand’s foundational blanks — a 160GSM cotton construction with a cut that actually accounts for how women wear tees. Not a shrunk-down men’s fit. The fabric weight lands in that practical middle zone: substantial enough to hold ink without show-through, light enough for year-round wear in Southern California or layered under jackets elsewhere.

Who Orders It

Coffee shops and boutique restaurants building staff uniform programs. Yoga studios and wellness brands that want something softer than performance fabric but still put-together. Women-owned businesses launching branded merch. Nonprofits running donor appreciation programs. Creative agencies outfitting their teams. Breweries and taprooms adding women’s cuts to their retail walls. Event organizers who’ve learned the hard way that unisex sizing doesn’t work for everyone.

Decoration

The 100% cotton construction takes screen print ink cleanly with good saturation and minimal hand-feel change on plastisol prints. DTG performs well — the tight weave holds detail without excessive ink absorption. Embroidery works on the chest and sleeve, though the lighter 160GSM weight means keeping stitch counts moderate (under 8,000) to avoid puckering. For large back prints, water-based inks lay particularly soft on this fabric. Heat transfer vinyl adheres reliably. The white colorway is ideal for full-color DTG work.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on this tee?
Screen printing and DTG both perform well on the 100% cotton. For softer prints, go with water-based screen ink. DTG is ideal for complex full-color designs, especially on white. Embroidery works for smaller placements — keep it under 8,000 stitches on this weight.

Is this actually cut for women or just relabeled unisex?
It’s a genuine women’s cut with shaped side seams and proportions designed for a female fit. Not a scaled-down men’s tee. The difference shows in how it sits at the shoulders and waist.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a slightly relaxed fit — not tight, not oversized. If your customers are between sizes, the fabric has enough ease that sizing down still feels comfortable.
