About AS Colour
AS Colour was founded in 2005 by Lawrence Railton, working out of a garage in the Auckland suburb of Parnell. It began by importing blank American t-shirts for New Zealand's printers and streetwear labels, then started designing its own when the available fits and fabrics fell short. The brand still builds its range around three principles — fit, fabric and finish — and makes garments to last on the basis that longer-lasting products are better for the environment. Today AS Colour supplies decorators and businesses from distribution centres in New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Europe and the US.
Custom AS Colour Tees, Hoodies, Caps & Totes at Supply Crew
Supply Crew stocks over 350 AS Colour styles. Tees lead the range: the Staple Tee is a regular-fit, 180gsm combed cotton tee in 76 colours, the Classic Tee is a heavier-weight option with a more structured drape in 57 colours, and the Heavy Faded Tee is a relaxed 240gsm garment-dyed cotton tee for a worn-in look. Around them sit organic, stone-wash, stripe, ringer, raglan, long-sleeve and active tees, plus an extensive women's range including the Maple, Mali and Martina tees, crops, tanks and racerbacks, and kids' and youth sizes in the core styles.
Fleece runs from the Supply Hood, a 290gsm cotton-blend anti-pill hoodie with a tear-out label, to Relax, Stencil and Heavy hoods, crews and zips. The range also covers polos, oxford and work shirts, puffer, rain, denim and bomber jackets, track pants, utility pants, jeans and shorts, caps, bucket hats and beanies, socks, aprons, backpacks and heavyweight cotton canvas totes such as the Carrie Tote.
AS Colour Sustainability & Organic Styles
AS Colour's main sustainability argument is durability: garments built to last, so a branded tee stays in use longer. For programs that need more, the range includes organic cotton styles such as the Staple Organic Tee, Classic Organic Tee and Organic Stencil Hood, which is made from 100% organic cotton. Recycled styles list their impact on the product page — the Staple Recycled Tee saves approximately four 500ml plastic bottles from landfill, and the Work Safety Polo approximately 23. Our team can help shortlist the organic and recycled options for your order.

AS Colour FAQs
+ Can I get AS Colour t-shirts printed with my logo?
Yes. AS Colour garments are made as blanks for decoration, and Supply Crew brands them with screen printing, direct-to-garment (DTG) printing or embroidery depending on your artwork, quantity and fabric. Several styles, such as the Supply Hood, have tear-out labels so your own branding can replace the AS Colour label.
+ What AS Colour products does Supply Crew offer?
Supply Crew stocks over 350 AS Colour styles: men's, women's, kids' and youth tees, tanks and long sleeves, hoodies, crews and zips, polos and shirts, jackets, track pants, jeans and shorts, caps, bucket hats and beanies, socks, aprons, backpacks and canvas totes.
+ What is the AS Colour Staple Tee?
The Staple Tee is AS Colour's core t-shirt: a regular-fit crew neck in mid-weight 180gsm, 28-singles combed cotton, side seamed with shoulder-to-shoulder tape and preshrunk to minimise shrinkage. It comes in 76 colours, which makes it easy to match a brand colour, and kids' and youth versions are available in 23 colours.
+ What is the difference between the AS Colour Staple, Classic and Heavy Faded tees?
The Staple Tee is the mid-weight, regular-fit all-rounder at 180gsm. The Classic Tee uses a heavier-weight fabric with a more structured, formal drape. The Heavy Faded Tee is a relaxed-fit 240gsm carded cotton tee with dropped shoulders and a garment-dyed finish for a vintage look. For staff uniforms the Staple or Classic suit most programs; for merch and streetwear-style drops, the Heavy Faded is a popular choice.
+ Are there organic or recycled AS Colour options?
Yes. The range includes organic cotton styles such as the Staple Organic Tee, Classic Organic Tee and Organic Stencil Hood, which is made from 100% organic cotton. Recycled styles show their impact on the product page: the Staple Recycled Tee saves approximately four 500ml plastic bottles from landfill, and the Work Safety Polo approximately 23.
+ How much do custom AS Colour t-shirts cost?
Pricing depends on the styles you choose, the quantity per style, the branding method, and the number of print positions and colours. Supply Crew prices every order individually, so the quickest way to an accurate figure is to submit a quote request with your styles, quantities and branding requirements.
+ Can I see an artwork proof before production?
Yes — twice over. You can Design & Create your own mockup instantly on any product page to see your logo on the product before you even request a quote. Then, once your order is confirmed, Supply Crew provides a detailed artwork proof for your approval — placement, size and finish — before production begins.
+ What is the minimum order quantity for custom AS Colour products?
AS Colour styles in the Supply Crew range carry a minimum order quantity of 25 units per style. The exact minimum order quantity is confirmed on each individual product page.
+ How long do custom AS Colour orders take to produce and deliver?
Custom AS Colour orders typically take 2–4 weeks for production and delivery, depending on the styles selected, the branding method and order volume. Our team will confirm an exact turnaround estimate once your order and artwork are finalised, so you can plan around your event or launch date.
