Product notes

More details

Construction & Material

The AS Colour 5082 is a heavyweight garment-dyed tee in 100% carded cotton at 240 GSM. The garment dye process means each piece is dyed after construction rather than at the fabric stage, producing a faded, vintage-washed appearance with slight variation between pieces.

Carded yarn at 240 GSM produces a dense, textured fabric. Side-seamed construction prevents the twisting that garment-dyed blanks can be prone to. The relaxed boxy fit with dropped shoulders matches the contemporary silhouette of the Heavy line.

Print Compatibility

Compatible with DTG, DTF, and screen print. Garment-dyed fabrics can produce slightly different color results than piece-dyed blanks — the pre-washed, faded base affects how DTG inks appear. Sellers should account for this when designing for garment-dyed products.
