Quick Answer

The AS Colour 5081 Heavy L/S Tee is a premium longsleeves made for custom decoration. Made of 100% Carded Cotton (Heathers 15% Viscose), 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 6 colourways across 2XL, 3XL, L, M, S, XL.

Construction & Materials

The Heavy L/S Tee is made from 100% Carded Cotton (Heathers 15% Viscose) at 280 GSM. A decorating style only works for a program if it is the same every time you order it — and that batch-to-batch consistency is exactly what lets decorators reuse one approved setup.

Fit, Sizing & Colour Range

The 5081 is offered in 2XL, 3XL, L, M, S, XL. It comes in 6 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 5081 is stocked in 6 colourways: Black, Butter, Cypress, Ecru, Midnight Blue, White. 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 Heavy L/S Tee shines: AS Colour styles are made to be decorated, and Heavy L/S Tee takes ink and thread cleanly so your artwork looks its best. It is suited to screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing and embroidery. The even surface helps prints sit crisply and gives embroidery a steady foundation, so logos reproduce cleanly across the run. 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.
