Custom Printed Vests: Cool & Casual

For those looking for a casual piece of clothing for the upper body, a t-shirt is usually the first thing that comes to mind. But what if you wanted something even more casual than that? Is there a garment that meets this need? The answer is a resounding yes! 
That garment is a vest. Made without sleeves, a vest offers complete freedom of movement and provides a super-relaxed aesthetic. Here at Texprint, we have got two sophisticated vests to choose from, each of which can be DTG printed with any design on both the back and front.
In Australia, Canada and the USA, the word 'vest' is used to refer to a waistcoat. What we here in Europe would call a vest, they refer to as a 'tank top'. In fact, the term 'tank top' is quite common all over the world and comes from the fact that vests look very much like the one-piece bathing suits that were fashionable in the 1920s. It all becomes clear when you learn that swimming pools were often known as 'swimming tanks'!
Like almost all garments (if you trace the history back far enough), vests were originally designed purely for practical value. They provide a useful layer underneath other clothes, keeping the wearer cosy in cold weather. Vests exploded in popularity as a fashion item back in 1951 with the release of the film 'A Streetcar Named Desire', in which lead actor Marlon Brando wore one of the garments. Today, vests are a streetwear staple and are also worn by many athletes, cementing their popularity.
Gildan Softstyle Adult Tank Top
This smart vest is part of Gildan's signature Softstyle collection and is made using the brand's ultra-soft ringspun cotton. The fabric boasts an extremely high density of stitches, providing the smoothest surface for printing. In addition, it feels delightful when worn directly against the skin. 
Each vest showcases a seamless, semi-fitted body and comes with self fabric trim at the armholes and neckline for the ultimate comfort. The Softstyle Adult Tank Top from Gildan is available a choice of five colour options: Black, White, Charcoal, Red or Navy. All of the dyes used are OEKO-TEX® certified. 
Build Your Brand Basic Tank Top

The vest is made entirely from the finest cotton and its iconic sleveless design is enhanced with the addition of a crew neckline. Cut to a regular fit, the tank top is available in a full range of sizes from XS to 5XL. There are ten different colour options to choose from including Sand, Heather Grey, Burgundy, Cobalt Blue and Taxi Yellow.
