The Block Tubular Tee by AS Colour: Why Tubular Construction Makes a Difference

20 January, 2026 by Caroline Robertson

What Came Up This Week: Tubular Tees and Why They Matter



This week, we had a visit from our AS Colour account manager, which is always a good opportunity to talk through new products and what’s coming next. One item that stood out was the Block Tubular Tee, a style built using tubular construction.



So what does tubular actually mean?



A tubular tee is made from a single continuous tube of fabric, rather than being cut and stitched together with side seams. This method creates a cleaner, more uniform garment with no seams running down the sides.



That construction brings a few practical advantages.



Without side seams, the tee sits more evenly on the body and feels more comfortable to wear. 



It also means the fabric behaves consistently across the entire garment, which helps with durability and shape retention over time. 



From a branding perspective, tubular tees provide a smoother canvas, allowing prints or embroidery to sit cleanly without interruption.



Tubular construction is also well known for its strength. Fewer seams mean fewer stress points, which can translate into better longevity — particularly important for garments that are worn regularly or used as part of a uniform or promotional range.



For customers looking for a premium-feeling tee that holds its shape and presents branding well, we recommend the 5050T AS Colour Block Tubular Tee. Made from 100% carded cotton with a mid weight of 200 GSM.  Built to last.



As always, these conversations with suppliers help us stay informed, so we, at Fully Promoted Mona Vale, can guide customers toward products that don’t just look good on day one, but continue to perform long after.
