AS Colour Wo’s Relax Faded Half Zip | 4167

Description

The AS Colour Women’s Relax Faded Half Zip brings that worn-in vintage look without the years of washing to get there. At 320GSM, this CVC fleece has real weight to it — substantial enough to feel premium, soft enough against the skin that it becomes the piece someone reaches for every morning. The pre-faded wash gives each garment a lived-in character that makes new custom merch feel like it already belongs in someone’s rotation.

Who Orders It

Boutique clothing brands building capsule collections around that vintage aesthetic. Creative agencies and design studios ordering staff apparel that matches their visual identity. Women-owned businesses and female-focused nonprofits wanting elevated branded gear. Yoga and wellness studios outfitting instructors. Coffee roasters and independent cafes with merch programs that lean cozy over corporate. Music venues and record labels with a softer, lived-in brand presence.

Decoration

The polyfoam front panel and structured construction hold embroidery cleanly — even detailed logos read well on the faded fleece surface. Screen printing works, but factor in the vintage wash texture; simpler designs with fewer color hits tend to integrate better with the garment’s aesthetic. DTG is viable on the cotton-rich blend, though test on the faded surface first as ink absorption can vary slightly. The half-zip placement leaves the left chest as the natural logo zone for most programs.

Common Questions

What decoration method works best on faded fleece?
Embroidery is the cleanest option — the structured fleece holds stitches well and the texture complements dimensional logos. Screen printing works for simpler designs; the faded wash gives prints a naturally worn-in look from day one.

Is this good for boutique brand merch?
This is exactly what it’s built for. The vintage wash and relaxed cut position it as lifestyle apparel rather than promotional wear. Customers will actually want to wear it outside the house.

How does the sizing run?
True to AS Colour’s women’s relaxed fit — intentionally roomy through the body with a dropped shoulder. Size based on your customer’s preferred oversized fit rather than a tailored silhouette.

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.
