Original T

Fruit’s Original T is the staple T-shirt for volume promotions, but until now was only available in men’s/unisex sizes. Now the brand has launched specific ladies and kids styles, so no matter your age or gender, now there’s an Original T for everyone!

The colour palette has been extended too with Burgundy and Yellow added to the range. This brings the total colours available to 21, ideal for every type of volume promotion from tourism to corporate giveaways. All colours are available across men’s, ladies and kids, so that when you need a completely co-ordinated look, Fruit of the Loom can deliver.

Designed for decoration, the fine knit gauge gives enhanced printability making it a great T-shirt for all types of embellishment.

All sizes have a fabric weight of 135gm/m² for white and 145gm/m² for colour. The Men’s Original T comes in sizes S-2XL, the Lady-Fit Original T in XS-2XL with shaped side seams for a flattering fit, while the Kids Original T starts at age 3-4 years and goes up to 14-15 years, so its perfect for young teenagers too. A new brochure is now available showcasing all colours and styles.

The brand’s Performance T’s were introduced in 2013 and have proved popular with more vibrant colours added in 2014. Now Fruit of the Loom has taken the range several steps further ntroducing vests, polos and shorts in the same superb moisture wicking fabric.

Designed to perform, only high quality fabric is used to make Fruit of the Loom’s Performance range. Every garment is constructed from 100% textured polyester (140gm/m²), with ‘Cool Wear’ technology to ensure the wearer stays cool, dry and comfortable. The entire Performance range is suitable for sublimation and screen printing, providing a multitude of branding options for men, ladies and kids, with good print quality results.

Kate Morris from Fruit of the Loom said: “Our Performance T’s have proved a real hit with customers and the expansion of the range will be welcomed by many. Whether it’s an early morning gym session, after school running club or Sunday football, these hard working, stylish garments are perfect for individuals and teams looking to feel confident and stand out from the crowd.”

100% polyester is increasingly specified as a workwear item, where physical activity or a hot environment means comfortable, moisture wicking fabric is a must. The Fruit Activewear T’s and Polos are ideal for this environment with T’s and Polos in both men’s and ladies styles.

The new men’s Performance Shorts are available in four colours, White, Black, Red and Deep Navy while the Performance Polo and new Lady-Fit Performance Polo come in five colours; White, Black, Red, Royal Blue and Deep Navy. You can find the men’s and ladies Performance T-shirts and Vests in nine colours, the same five colours as the polo plus Fuchsia, Azure Blue, Lime and Bright Yellow.

Kids don’t miss out either, with the Kids Performance T available in the same nine colours as the adult versions and the new Kids Performance Shorts in the same four colours as the men’s Performance Shorts.
