AS Colour 5080 Heavy Tee – Heavyweight 280 GSM T-Shirt

Name: AS Colour 5080 Heavy Tee | Heavyweight T-Shirt
Availability: InStock

Price range: $23.10 through $27.50

The AS Colour 5080 Heavy Tee is an 8.2 oz / 280 GSM heavyweight T-shirt with a boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, and carded-cotton construction. Choose it when the garment itself should feel substantial for retail-style merchandise, streetwear-inspired apparel, or a branded program where weight is intentional. Consider the 5001 or 5026 when you need a regular-fit tee with a lighter, more familiar drape or a less pronounced heavyweight direction.

Description

The AS Colour 5080 Heavy Tee is a 280 GSM heavyweight T-shirt built for projects where the garment itself is meant to feel substantial. Its carded-cotton construction and relaxed, boxier silhouette create a different direction from a standard lightweight tee. Choose it when the shape and weight are intentional parts of the finished merchandise, not just the surface beneath a logo.

Why Choose the AS Colour 5080 Heavy Tee?

The main difference you will notice is the weight. At 8.2 oz / 280 GSM, the 5080 has more structure than AS Colour’s lighter tee options, and its boxy relaxed silhouette with dropped shoulders changes how a graphic and the garment read together. That can matter for retail-style merchandise, streetwear-inspired apparel, event merch, or company apparel where a heavier shirt is an intentional choice.

Heavier is not automatically better. A lighter tee can make more sense for everyday employee uniforms, hotter environments, traditional T-shirt drape, layering, or price-sensitive programs. The right question is whether the project benefits from the 5080’s substantial direction.

The BFI Take

Choose this when the garment itself should feel substantial and the relaxed, boxier silhouette supports the artwork and audience. I would use the 5080 for merchandise that needs a deliberate heavyweight direction, retail-style branded programs, and projects where the shirt is part of the value people are receiving. I would consider another shirt when the group needs lighter everyday wear, works in hotter conditions, wants a more traditional drape, or is balancing the garment cost closely. The 5080 is not the default AS Colour tee; it is the intentional heavyweight option.

How the 5080 Compares

Style	Weight	Fit / Feel	Choose It When
AS Colour 5001 Staple Tee	180 GSM	Regular fit	You want an all-around tee for everyday staff apparel, events, or broadly wearable merchandise.
AS Colour 5026 Classic Tee	220 GSM	Regular fit; heavier feel	You want a heavier regular-fit tee without moving to the 5080’s deliberately heavyweight, boxier direction.
AS Colour 5080 Heavy Tee	280 GSM	Relaxed, boxier silhouette	The substantial garment and heavier silhouette are intentional parts of the project.

Custom Printing on the AS Colour 5080

Artwork, garment color, placement, desired finished look, and decoration method should be considered together. A larger or bolder graphic may suit the 5080’s heavier silhouette, but the correct approach still depends on the project. See our custom screen printing in Orange County page for the details we review before recommending a method.
