What if your go-to blank tee could look great, feel amazing, and help do some good for the planet too? Say hello to the AWDis T – a new range that proves sustainability doesn’t mean compromise. 

Sustainability in every stitch

Available in three versatile styles (AT001, AT001J, and AT002), the AWDis T range is designed for printers, embroiderers, and creatives who want more from their blanks. With sizes covering kids (3–15 years) to adults (S–5XL), it’s a true one-for-all solution – whether you’re designing a leavers tee, creating merch, or branding uniforms. 

But what really sets this tee apart? Its environmental credentials. 

Better Cotton & Traceability

Better Cotton isn’t just a label – it’s a commitment to doing things the right way. Every AWDis T is made using Better Cotton, supporting responsible cotton farming and helping reduce the environmental footprint of every garment. That means: 

• Less water used
• Fewer pesticides
• Healthier soil and farming communities

Worker’s Safety & Rights

We don’t just talk the talk – we trace it all the way through. From cotton fields to final stitch, our vertically integrated supply chain gives us complete visibility and control. This means every AWDis T is made under conditions that are: 

• ETI Base Code compliant 

• SMETA 4-Pillar audited 

• Gold-certified by WRAP 

• A-rated by amfori BSCI 

We ensure ethical production, safer factories, and fair treatment for every worker involved. 

Energy Initiatives

When you print on an AWDis T, you’re printing on more than a tee – you’re supporting a system built on transparency, fairness, and care for the planet. Because sustainability is about proof, not promises, we track everything:

• Water usage: Monitored by metering system 

• Waste: Measured by weight 

• Energy use: Tracked through metering and invoices 

• Worker rights: Protected by robust policies and verified compliance with Bangladesh Labour Rules 

Why printers and brands are making the switch…

The AWDis T isn’t just the sustainable choice – it’s the smart one. With a perfect hand-feel, reliable sizing, and unbeatable printability, it’s built to help your designs shine without worrying about consistency or returns. And thanks to strong supply chain infrastructure, availability is never an issue.

The blank apparel industry is already being shaped by key 2025 fashion trends that blend aesthetics, sustainability, and evolving consumer demand. For printers and embroiderers, staying ahead of these trends is crucial to meeting customer expectations and delivering the styles and colours that are in high demand.

What better way to plan for the year than by exploring these four exciting trends that are set to define the fashion landscape in 2025?

Here’s a breakdown of what we think will be trending this year and how you can stay ahead it!

1. Streetwear influence

Year after year streetwear continues to dominate and shape the fashion industry. Boxy and oversized fits are a standard template in streetwear fashion. These comfortable yet stylish silhouettes are the perfect foundation for layering and customisation, making them a popular choice for personalised apparel. Key pieces to watch for include:

– Boxy tees that provide ample print space for bold and vibrant graphics.

– Oversized hoodies that blend comfort with a trendy edge and similarly a ‘boxy fit’, perfect for embroidery designs and any print.

These styles reflect a blend of fashion and function, aligning with consumer preferences for comfort yet trendy pieces.

2. Mocha Mousse is taking the spotlight

Pantone’s 2025 colour of the year, mocha mousse leads the earthy tone trend. This warm brown – much softer than ‘brat’ green that took over 2024, can stand alone and work as the perfect foundation with its rich and comfort feel.

As well as that, it compliments bold shades like dusty pinks, lighter blues and greens. It seamlessly acts as a minimalist base for diverse embroidery designs and contrast prints that stand out against warm, neutral backgrounds.

3. The shift to ‘slow fashion’

Eco-consciousness is no longer an afterthought. Consumers are increasingly prioritising sustainable practices, from recycled materials to ethical production methods. The rise of ‘slow fashion,’ which emphasises durability and timelessness, is shaping purchasing decisions, making eco-friendly blanks an essential addition to both wardrobes and product offerings.

This movement towards sustainability presents exciting opportunities for printers and embroiderers. Consider exploring custom designs on sustainably sourced blanks to resonate with eco-conscious consumers.

4. Vibrant and subtle yellows

Lastly but certainly not the least, sunshine yellows to buttery shades make the lineup of key tones to shine in 2025. Evoking optimism and energy, while buttery pastels offer a more soothing vibe. These tones produce endless opportunities for creativity in prints. It’s closeness to neutral shades allows graphic designs to pop and provides a more modern retro look.

The shifts in oversized streetwear fits, earthy tones and sustainable practices, reflect a growing emphasis on individuality in design.

1. It’s budget friendly

Newbie printers are jumping on the DTF bandwagon – and we can see why. With minimal start-up costs, DTF is a budget friendly option for decorators starting their journey, without compromising on quality.

2. It’s Versatile

The DTF printing process involves the transfer of a print directly onto a garment or other item, using heat and special transfer film. The key here is that DTF works on so many fabrics – from polyester to cotton to ceramic, making it easy to transfer designs onto virtually any surface!

3. It’s environmentally friendly

DTF is also trending due to its reduced environmental impact compared to traditional printing methods. It uses less ink and generates less overall waste, making it a hit for eco conscious businesses and customers alike.

4. It delivers high quality results

DTF printing is known for its vibrant colours, sharp details and durable prints. Unlike some other techniques, DTF doesn’t crack, fade, or peel easily, ensuring the designs remain intact even after multiple wears and washes!

In this blog, we’ll dive into our heavyweight collection and explore the benefits of these higher GSM garments. But first, what actually qualifies as ‘heavyweight’? And how does it differ to regular weight cotton?

How heavy is ‘heavyweight’?

Typically, in fabric terms, heavyweight refers to fabrics with a high GSM (grams per square metre), depending on the garment type. For example:

• T-shirt / Polos Lightweight fabrics – 100-150 GSM
• T-shirt / Polos Midweight fabrics – 160-190 GSM
• T-shirt / Polos Heavyweight fabrics – 200 GSM and above
• Hoods/Sweats Lightweight fabrics – 240-260 GSM
• Hoods/Sweats Midweight fabrics – 270-320 GSM
• Hoods/Sweats Heavyweight fabrics – 330 GSM and above

Heavyweight vs. lightweight cotton

Lightweight or midweight fabrics are often used for standard t-shirts and lighter hoodies/sweats, as they provide a softer, more breathable feel. Heavyweight cotton is thicker, denser and sturdier than lightweight or regular cotton, making it ideal for hoodies, sweatshirts and more structured tees, since the fabric is able to better hold its shape.

Why choose a heavyweight garment?

The are many reasons why choosing a heavyweight garment may be more beneficial to you, these include:

• Durability – crafted from heavier cotton, garments with a higher GSM are more robust and able to resist wear, tear and stretching over time, even after multiple washes.
• Comfort – the thick nature of heavyweight cotton makes it much warmer than regular cotton – meaning garments are cosier and great for layering in the cooler months.
• Style – For hoodies and tees, heavyweight fabric creates a structured, premium look and feel that is on trend and can take any outfit to the next level.
• Fit – the weight of heavier garments allows them to maintain their shape when wearing and washing, providing a more flattering fit that doesn’t cling to the body. Heavyweight garments tend to be slightly roomier for increased comfort, style and freedom of movement.
• On trend – heavyweight styles are more in demand now than ever, in both retail and the printing industry. Customers are seeking garments with a higher GSM for that premium feel.

Decoration

One of the main benefits of heavyweight fabric is the decorating potential. The durability of heavyweight fabric makes it ideal for large embroidery designs that regular fabric wouldn’t be able to handle.

The thicker fabric resists puckering and stretching, ensuring the design is of the highest possible professional quality. Heavier fabrics also better absorb inks and dyes, resulting in vivid and rich prints every time.

With print types such as DTG or screen print, heavyweight fabrics have a smoother surface because they are densely packed with threads and cotton fibres.
