The AS Colour Women's Premium Crew: A 350gsm 100% Cotton French Terry Crewneck Built for Premium Corporate Casual, Team Wear, and Branded Uniform Programs

Q: What artwork file format do you need?

For Embroidery , we can operate with any file. For Printing , we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF . Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.

Q: What is stitch count and how does it affect price?

Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo . Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

Q: What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets. Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.

Q: How do I determine the right size for my staff?

We recommend using half-chest measurements , which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles. This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.

Q: Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?

Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit . Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.

Q: How often should uniforms be replaced?

Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months . Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.

At a Glance

The AS Colour Women’s Premium Crew (4121) is a 350gsm 100% cotton French terry crewneck sweatshirt designed for businesses, sporting clubs, and organisations that need a premium-weight women’s sweatshirt with a relaxed, fashion-forward silhouette — one that carries embroidery and print decoration cleanly, holds its shape through repeated washing, and presents consistently across a full team rollout.

It suits corporate casual uniform programs, staff onboarding kits, team and club merchandise, creative industry and hospitality programs, and any organisation that needs a women’s sweatshirt that delivers a genuinely premium feel — heavier, softer, and more substantial than standard CVC fleece alternatives — without the pilling, shrinkage, and fit distortion that affects lower-quality options.

With 350gsm 100% cotton French terry, dropped shoulders, inset sleeves, 2x2 ribbing at the neck, cuffs and hem, cover stitching on seams, and preshrunk construction, it solves the challenge of finding a women’s sweatshirt that feels genuinely premium on the body, presents cleanly as a branded uniform item, and maintains its appearance and dimensions through a full season of regular wear and washing.

Further Information

The Women’s Premium Crew occupies a different position in the AS Colour range from the unisex Supply Crew — and understanding that difference is important for organisations choosing between the two for a women’s or mixed-gender uniform program.

The Supply Crew is a 290gsm CVC fleece (80% cotton / 20% polyester) with a regular unisex fit and raglan sleeves — a versatile, mid-weight option that works across a wide range of programs and environments.

The Women’s Premium Crew is a 350gsm 100% cotton French terry with a relaxed women’s fit, dropped shoulders, and inset sleeves — a heavier, softer, more fashion-forward option that suits programs where the premium feel and contemporary silhouette of the garment are as important as its functional performance.

French terry is a knit fabric construction where the face is smooth and the reverse has looped pile — the same construction used in premium athleisure and fashion sweatshirts. At 350gsm in 100% cotton, it is substantially heavier and softer than standard CVC fleece, with a natural drape and hand feel that reads as premium rather than promotional.

The dropped shoulder construction — where the shoulder seam sits below the natural shoulder point — is a contemporary silhouette detail that gives the Women’s Premium Crew its relaxed, fashion-forward appearance. It is the construction detail that distinguishes a premium sweatshirt from a standard uniform fleece, and it is why this garment works in creative, hospitality, and lifestyle brand programs where a standard uniform silhouette would look out of place.

The 2x2 ribbing at the neck, cuffs, and hem provides a structured finish that maintains the garment’s shape through wear and washing — the hem ribbing in particular prevents the body from riding up or losing its length through repeated laundering, a common failure point in lower-quality sweatshirts.

The cover stitching on seams provides a clean, flat seam finish on the inside of the garment that prevents seam chafing and maintains the seam’s integrity through repeated washing — a construction detail that is standard in premium garments and absent in most promotional fleece alternatives.

The preshrunk construction maintains the garment’s body length and sleeve measurements after washing, ensuring the size ordered is the size worn throughout the garment’s working life.

Feature to Outcome: What This Sweatshirt Delivers for Your Team

350gsm 100% Cotton French Terry → Heavyweight pure cotton knit with smooth face and looped reverse pile → Substantially heavier, softer, and more premium in feel than standard 290gsm CVC fleece alternatives — the fabric weight and construction that distinguishes a premium sweatshirt from a promotional uniform fleece
Relaxed Women’s Fit → Cut specifically for women with a relaxed, contemporary silhouette → Flattering and comfortable across a range of body types without the boxy, unisex fit that makes standard sweatshirts look shapeless on women
Dropped Shoulders → Shoulder seam positioned below the natural shoulder point → Contemporary, fashion-forward silhouette that reads as premium rather than promotional — the construction detail that makes this garment appropriate for creative, hospitality, and lifestyle brand programs
Inset Sleeves → Sleeve set into the armhole at the natural shoulder → Clean, structured sleeve attachment that provides a defined shoulder line and a more tailored appearance than raglan sleeve construction
2x2 Ribbing at Neck, Cuffs, and Hem → Structured ribbed finish at all three garment edges → Maintains the garment’s shape at the neck, sleeve ends, and body hem through repeated wear and washing — prevents flaring, riding up, and loss of structure at the edges
Cover Stitching on Seams → Flat, clean seam finish on the inside of the garment → Prevents seam chafing against the skin and maintains seam integrity through repeated washing — a premium construction detail absent in most promotional fleece alternatives
Preshrunk to Minimise Shrinkage → Fabric pre-treated to stabilise dimensions before garment construction → Body length and sleeve measurements remain consistent after washing — the size ordered is the size worn throughout the garment’s life

B2B Friction-Free Buying Guide

Women’s-specific vs unisex sizing for uniform programs: The Women’s Premium Crew is cut specifically for women with a relaxed women’s fit — not a unisex garment sized down. For organisations running women’s-specific uniform programs or wanting to offer a women’s option alongside a unisex sweatshirt, the 4121 provides a fit and silhouette that is genuinely designed for women rather than adapted from a unisex pattern.

French terry for premium and lifestyle programs: The 350gsm 100% cotton French terry construction positions the Women’s Premium Crew at the premium end of the AS Colour sweatshirt range. It is the appropriate choice for programs where the feel and silhouette of the garment are as important as its functional performance — creative agencies, design studios, hospitality businesses, boutique retailers, and lifestyle brands where a standard uniform fleece would look out of place.

Embroidery and decoration: The smooth cotton face of the French terry provides a clean, stable surface for embroidery decoration. The inset sleeve construction provides a defined shoulder line that works well for sleeve embroidery placement.

Common Programs This Sweatshirt Supports

Women’s corporate casual and professional uniform programs. Organisations running women’s-specific uniform programs need a sweatshirt that is cut for women, not adapted from a unisex pattern. The Women’s Premium Crew’s relaxed women’s fit, dropped shoulders, and premium French terry construction provide a garment that is genuinely designed for women and presents as a considered uniform choice rather than a generic promotional fleece.

Creative industry, hospitality, and lifestyle brand programs. Creative agencies, design studios, boutique hospitality businesses, and lifestyle brands building staff uniform programs need a sweatshirt that reflects the brand’s aesthetic. The Women’s Premium Crew’s dropped shoulder silhouette, 100% cotton French terry, and premium weight position it at the fashion-forward end of the uniform sweatshirt category — appropriate for environments where a standard uniform fleece would look out of place.

Premium merchandise and staff onboarding kits. Businesses building premium staff onboarding kits or merchandise programs need items that communicate the organisation’s investment in its people. The Women’s Premium Crew’s 350gsm French terry construction and contemporary silhouette provide a garment with genuine perceived value — one that recipients will wear regularly rather than set aside.

Sporting club and association women’s merchandise. Sporting clubs building women’s merchandise programs need a sweatshirt that is cut for women and holds up through the repeated washing that active club members require. The Women’s Premium Crew’s preshrunk construction and 2x2 ribbing at the neck, cuffs, and hem maintain the garment’s shape and dimensions through regular washing across a full season.

B2B Intelligence FAQ

What is French terry and how does it differ from standard fleece? French terry is a knit fabric construction where the face is smooth and the reverse has looped pile — the same construction used in premium athleisure and fashion sweatshirts. Unlike standard fleece, which has a brushed or napped reverse, French terry has a looped reverse that is lighter and less bulky while maintaining the fabric’s warmth and softness. At 350gsm in 100% cotton, the Women’s Premium Crew’s French terry is substantially heavier and softer than standard CVC fleece alternatives.

What are dropped shoulders and why do they matter? Dropped shoulders refer to a construction where the shoulder seam is positioned below the natural shoulder point, creating a relaxed, oversized silhouette through the upper body. It is a contemporary fashion detail that distinguishes a premium sweatshirt from a standard uniform fleece, and it is why the Women’s Premium Crew suits creative, hospitality, and lifestyle brand programs where a standard uniform silhouette would look out of place.

What is cover stitching and why does it matter? Cover stitching is a seam finishing technique that produces a flat, clean seam on the inside of the garment using multiple rows of stitching. It prevents seam chafing against the skin, maintains the seam’s integrity through repeated washing, and is a standard construction detail in premium garments that is absent in most promotional fleece alternatives.

How does the Women’s Premium Crew fit compared to the Supply Crew? The Women’s Premium Crew is cut specifically for women with a relaxed women’s fit and dropped shoulders — it is not a unisex garment sized down. The Supply Crew is a regular unisex fit with raglan sleeves. For women’s-specific programs, the 4121 provides a fit and silhouette that is genuinely designed for women. For mixed-gender programs where a single style is required, the Supply Crew’s unisex fit covers both.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How long has Uniforms.com.au been in business?

We started last century! 1999 to be exact. We are still the same family owned and operated and have made life long friends that were once new customers.

Do you outsource your embroidery & printing?

We are one of the very few uniform businesses in this country that have actually invested in to our own embroidery and print machines.

By keeping your branding in house, we are able to produce high quality merchandise with quicker time lines.

Are you Australian based?

100% owned and operated right here in Australia. We service the entire country as well as New Zealand and overseas customers from our factory in Australia.

We continually add products daily to the site to keep it up to date but by all means, start a live chat with us if you can not find what you are looking for. We are here to help.

What artwork file format do you need?

For Embroidery, we can operate with any file.

For Printing, we prefer vector files such as EPS or PDF.

Vector artwork ensures clean, sharp branding and accurate reproduction across embroidery and printing.

What is stitch count and how does it affect price?

Stitch count refers to the number of stitches used in an embroidered logo.

Higher stitch counts mean more detail and higher production time, which increases cost. Simple logos are more cost-effective, while detailed designs cost more.

What is the difference between embroidery and screen printing?

Embroidery is a premium, highly durable option ideal for polos, shirts, and jackets.

Screen printing is best for large, colourful designs and high-volume orders, offering excellent visual impact at a lower cost per unit.

How do I determine the right size for my staff?

We recommend using half-chest measurements, which are the most accurate way to size uniforms consistently across brands and styles.

This method reduces sizing errors and ensures a better fit than relying on generic S-XL sizing alone.

Can we mix and match uniform styles but still look cohesive?

Yes — mixing styles works well when there is consistency in colour, branding, and fit.

Using the same logo placement, colour palette, and garment category ensures a unified, professional appearance while giving staff flexibility.

How often should uniforms be replaced?

Uniforms should be reviewed every 12–18 months.

Replacement timing depends on job role, wash frequency, and brand standards. Regular reviews help maintain a consistent, professional image and ensure staff comfort and safety.

What is the best fabric for daily wear and workplace durability?

The best fabrics for everyday workwear are breathable, durable fabric blends, such as cotton-polyester combinations.

These blends offer comfort, strength, colour retention, and reduced shrinkage, making them ideal for long shifts, frequent washing, and physically demanding workplaces.

How many uniforms should each staff member have?

We recommend 3–5 uniform sets per staff member.

This allows for daily wear, washing cycles, and unexpected spills or damage while maintaining a professional appearance at all times. Having multiple sets also extends the lifespan of each garment and reduces last-minute uniform stress for your team.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

Yes — bulk discounts are available.

Larger orders reduce unit costs, making bulk purchasing the most economical option for growing teams.

How long does it take for my order to be delivered?

Typical timelines are:

3–5 working days for standard printing
10–15 working days for custom embroidery or larger orders

Delivery times may vary based on stock availability and order complexity.

We are a large business, are you able to assist with our unique needs?

Absolutely! We have serviced some of Australia's most well known brands throughout this great country. Reach out to us and let us show you how we can streamline your uniform ordering process.

How should I care for printed or embroidered garments?

To maximise garment life:

Wash inside out
Use cold or cool water
Avoid tumble drying
Do not iron directly over prints

Proper care preserves colour, shape, and branding.

Are there eco-friendly or sustainable promotional products?

Yes — we offer a wide range of eco-friendly and sustainable promotional products, including recycled, reusable, and biodegradable options.

What are the most effective promotional products?

Popular and effective promotional items include pens, mugs, bags, and drink tumblers.

These products offer high visibility, daily use, and strong brand recall.
