AS Colour Wo’s Maple Tee | 4001

Description

The AS Colour Maple Tee is the women’s counterpart to the Staple — same 180GSM combed cotton construction, same print-ready consistency, but cut specifically for a feminine silhouette. The slightly shorter body length and narrower shoulders create the kind of fit that looks intentional rather than adapted. For decorated apparel programs that need to serve mixed-gender audiences without compromising on either, this is the reliable pairing.

Who Orders It

Creative agencies and design studios building branded apparel for teams that care about fit. Retail brands launching women’s collections that need to look as good as they print. Nonprofits and advocacy organizations running campaigns where the tee is part of the message. Music venues and festivals offering merch that women actually want to wear. Breweries and coffee roasters expanding their branded apparel beyond unisex sizing. Schools and universities producing alumni gear and campus store inventory.

Decoration

The combed cotton face accepts screen print ink cleanly with minimal fibrillation — you get crisp edges on detailed artwork. DTG prints sit well on the natural fiber, with true color reproduction on white and light heathers. The 180GSM weight provides enough body for embroidery up to 8,000 stitches without puckering, though left chest and sleeve placements work best on this lighter construction. Side seams are set back, so plan placement accordingly for wrap designs.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best?
Screen printing delivers the best results for volume orders — the combed cotton takes ink evenly and holds detail. DTG is excellent for full-color or photographic prints on lighter colorways. Embroidery works well for smaller designs in the 5,000–8,000 stitch range.

How does this compare to the men’s Staple Tee?
Same fabric weight and quality, different cut. The Maple runs narrower through the shoulders and torso with a slightly shorter body length. If you’re ordering for a mixed team, pair this with the 5001 Staple for consistent branding across fits.

How does the sizing run?
True to size with a fitted silhouette. It’s not oversized or boxy — if your customer prefers a relaxed fit, size up one. We recommend ordering samples before committing to a large run.

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.
