Stone Wash Staple Tee 5040

The AS Colour Stone Wash Staple Tee is the ultimate "shortcut to cool" for your 2026 apparel line. While other shirts can look stiff and new, the 5040 undergoes a specialized stone wash process to achieve a soft, lived-in, vintage aesthetic right out of the box. Crafted from a lightweight 160 GSM 100% combed cotton, it offers a refined, breathable drape that is perfect for summer streetwear blanks and premium merch drop printing.

We find the Stone Wash Staple to be a top-tier choice for high-end boutique branding. The 32-singles ultra-fine knit provides an incredibly smooth surface, making it the premier candidate for soft-feel water-based screen printing and high-definition DTG T-shirt printing NZ. The unique high-and-low tones created by the wash process make embroidery runs and tonal left chest logo branding pop with a sophisticated, retail-ready finish.

Whether you are outfitting a craft brewery in the or launching a line of custom tees for a creative agency, the 5040 delivers "built to last" quality with a relaxed vibe. Despite its lightweight feel, it features side-seamed construction and shoulder-to-shoulder tape to ensure it holds its shape through every wash.
