AS Colour Wo’s Heavy Faded Tee | 4082

Description

The AS Colour Women’s Heavy Faded Tee is what happens when you take a heavyweight blank and give it the texture and softness of something already broken in. At 240GSM, this isn’t a lightweight promo piece — it’s a substantial cotton tee with the kind of weight that drapes correctly and holds its shape through seasons of wear. The faded wash treatment gives each piece character without sacrificing the print-ready surface decorators need.

Who Orders It

Streetwear labels building capsule collections where the garment itself carries weight. Music venues and touring merch programs that want something fans will actually wear years later. Boutique fitness studios doing limited drops. Creative agencies outfitting their teams in something with presence. Nonprofit organizations running fundraiser campaigns where the shirt quality matches the mission. Coffee roasters and craft beverage brands building retail merch lines.

Decoration

The 240GSM weight provides excellent stability for screen printing — minimal show-through, clean lay-down on larger chest prints. The faded wash means the base color has variation, so designs with some visual texture tend to integrate better than stark solid blocks. Embroidery holds cleanly with the heavier fabric providing natural backing support. DTG prints well on the cotton construction, though test your color matching against the faded base tones. The relaxed fit gives decorators good surface area across the front panel.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on the faded wash?
Screen printing with plastisol inks gives you the most opacity and pop against the faded base. Water-based inks will integrate more subtly into the fabric. For embroidery, standard thread coverage works well — the heavyweight fabric supports dense stitch counts without puckering.

Is this good for retail merch programs?
This is exactly what retail merch programs reach for. The heavyweight construction and pre-washed softness position it as a premium piece customers will pay more for — and actually wear. It photographs well and has shelf presence.

How does the sizing run?
The relaxed fit runs true to standard women’s sizing but with more room through the body than a fitted cut. If your customers prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down. Check the size chart for specific measurements.
