AS Colour Wo’s Heavy Crew | 4145

Description

The AS Colour 4145 Women’s Heavy Crew is a 400GSM fleece sweatshirt built for programs where the garment matters as much as the decoration. This is heavyweight blank apparel with intention — a cotton-polyester blend that carries substantial weight without stiffness, with a relaxed fit that reads current rather than dated. The recycled fiber content adds material credibility for brands that need to answer sourcing questions.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building capsule collections. Music venues and record labels running artist merch. Creative agencies ordering internal branded gear that people actually want to wear. Nonprofit organizations with donor appreciation programs. Coffee roasters and boutique retailers stocking house-branded apparel. College programs and sororities ordering elevated chapter merchandise.

Decoration

The 400GSM weight and structured fleece face hold embroidery exceptionally well — this fabric won’t pucker under dense stitch counts. Screen printing lays down clean with excellent ink adhesion on the cotton-dominant blend. DTG works on the lighter colorways, though the fleece texture means you’ll get best results with designs that work with slight texture variation. The polyester content means sublimation isn’t ideal here — stick to traditional decoration methods for this blank.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the 4145?
Embroidery is the standout — the heavy fleece face handles high stitch counts without distortion. Screen printing also performs well with excellent ink hold. For DTG, stick to lighter colorways and expect subtle texture in the print.

Is this good for retail-quality branded merchandise?
Yes. The 400GSM weight and relaxed cut position this as a retail-ready blank. Streetwear brands and creative businesses order this specifically because it doesn’t feel like promotional apparel.

How does the sizing run?
The 4145 runs relaxed and slightly oversized by design. For a fitted look, size down. For the intended streetwear silhouette, order true to size.
