Staple Raglan Tee 5001R

The AS Colour Staple Raglan Tee is the athletic, high-contrast evolution of the industry-standard Staple 5001. By utilizing a raglan sleeve construction—where the sleeve extends in one piece fully to the collar—this tee offers a superior range of motion and a vintage "baseball" aesthetic that is a major streetwear trend. Crafted from 180 GSM mid-weight 100% combed cotton, it delivers the perfect balance of durability and a soft, retail-ready hand feel for Canterbury custom apparel.

As your locally branded specialists for T-shirt printing Christchurch, we consider the 5001R a good choice for brand merch shirts and sports-lifestyle branding. The 28-singles ultra-fine knit provides an incredibly smooth, dense surface that is the gold standard for DTG T-shirt printing and high-definition water-based screen printing. The contrast between the sleeve and body colors naturally draws the eye to your artwork—we recommend a bold center-chest Supacolour transfer or clean small batch embroidery on the left chest to anchor the retro-athletic look.

Whether you are outfitting a social sports club in the Selwyn District or launching a seasonal merch drop printing, the Staple Raglan is "built to last." It features a classic crew neck, side-seamed construction, and double-needle hems to ensure it maintains its regular fit through every wash. Its mid-weight profile makes it an excellent, low-bulk breathable base layer under a Hood or Crew. As your South Island uniform suppliers, we ensure every raglan is pre-shrunk to minimise shrinkage.
