Quick Answer

The AS Colour 5172 Box Minus Hood [-1.5"] is a premium hoodies made for custom decoration. Made of 80% Cotton, 20% Recycled Polyester Fleece, it is intended for screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and other custom branding, and is a fit for apparel brands, uniform and team programs, events and retail merch. It is offered in 5 colourways across 2XL, 3XL, L, M, S, XL.

Construction & Materials

The Box Minus Hood [-1.5"] is made from 80% Cotton, 20% Recycled Polyester Fleece at 350 GSM. The recycled content lets sustainability-focused programs cut new-material use without giving up a decorator-friendly surface. The fleece construction adds warmth and structure, holding embroidery and prints without distortion through repeat wear. Because the build is held consistent batch to batch, a design decorates the same way on the first order and on later top-ups, which is what program buyers depend on.

Fit, Sizing & Colour Range

The 5172 is offered in 2XL, 3XL, L, M, S, XL. It comes in 5 colourways, giving programs room to match team, brand or seasonal palettes while keeping one consistent base style. Building a program around one style across several colours means you proof once and reorder freely — every colourway shares the same fit and decoration area.

Available Colours

The 5172 is stocked in 5 colourways: Athletic Heather, Black, Ecru, Ink Blue, Shadow. Running one style across this colour range lets a program cover multiple teams, brands or seasonal looks while keeping a single, consistent decoration base.

Decoration Compatibility

This is where the Box Minus Hood [-1.5"] shines: AS Colour styles are made to be decorated, and Box Minus Hood [-1.5"] takes ink and thread cleanly so your artwork looks its best. It is suited to screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and embroidery. A smooth, consistent surface gives screen printers clean registration and gives embroiderers a stable base for dense stitch counts. For DTG, lighter and mid grounds reproduce colour especially well, while darker grounds benefit from a white underbase. Always run a pre-production sample to lock in placement and finish before a full decoration run.

• Screen printing: best for bold, high-volume runs with a limited colour count; the even surface holds crisp edges.
• DTG: ideal for full-colour or photographic art in shorter runs; lighter grounds reproduce colour with the least ink build.
• Embroidery: a premium, durable finish for logos and left-chest marks; confirm stitch density suits the fabric weight.
