This piece is a must-read if you need sleeveless tops customised. And also want the base garments to be sustainably sourced. Because we’ve put together what we consider to be a pretty extensive selection. That is to say, 19 eco-conscious vests and tank tops that are made to printed and personalised. The garments we’ve chosen are from a number of suppliers who’ve earned a solid reputation for an ethical approach to making blank clothing. And this is our 2024 / 2025 update.
The vest top, often referred to as a tank top these days, has much in common with the t-shirt. Notably, both have a simple design that provides a perfect space for printing your message or logo. And, vests are versatile, something which is belied by the basic nature of the item. They started out as a purely practical piece of apparel and have retained that practical appeal. We’re talking all year round usage here. An extra layer in colder months and a cool stand-alone top when the weather gets warmer. But, the vest has also gained fashion credibility, an attribute that’s hard to ignore. Right, let’s get into them, 19 eco-conscious vests and tank tops for printing. As usual, numbers are for reference rather than ranking. And we’ve grouped the products by brand.
1. Stella Minter
We’ll begin our list of 19 eco-conscious vests and tank tops for printing with a selection from Stanley Stella. The Stella Minter (code STTW084) is a women’s medium fit tank top, a relatively new addition to Stanley Stella’s impressive organic catalogue. It also boasts an impressive colour card. Think delightful naturally inspired shades such as buttery cream, heather rainbow and volcano stone.
2. Stanley Dancer
Our second product from Stanley Stella is the delightful Stella Dancer (code STTW038). A sleeveless women’s cropped tank top that’s a lovely lightweight option at 120 G/M². It has 1 x 1 rib at collar and arm holes, and a narrow double topstitch on the bottom hem. The slightly higher neckline is a feature which will work really well with some designs and also resonate more strongly in certain markets.
3. Stanley Runs
This is one of Stanley Stella’s well established styles. That’s to say, the Stanley Runs(code STTM551) men’s tank top has proven itself over a number of years. Again, it’s made from organic ring-spun combed cotton and mid-weight at 155 G/M². The colour range is the same as the Stanley Specter top. In stylistic terms, it differs somewhat with the shoulder straps being a little thinner.
4. Stella Dreamer
The Stella Dreamer (code STTW013) vest is another style that’s been around for a good while now. As such, it’s described by Stanley Stella as their iconic women’s tank top. This long-standing nature is reflected in the superb colour palette. There are some simply sumptuous shades on offer with the Dreamer. Seriously, they’re screaming out for a spot of professional print.
5. AS Colour Men’s Classic Tank
The next section in our 19 eco-conscious vests and tank tops for printing comes from AS Colour. They’re part of the Amfori BSCI initiative and are regarded as a solid eco-ethical plain clothing brand. Their classic tank top (code 5073) is a quality blank sleeveless vest that’s made from cotton, regular fitting and light weight. By the way, it comes in some really nice colours.
6. AS Colour Organic Singlet
Next up is another men’s style from AS Colour and we’re definitely talking eco-conscious vests with this one. Their 5063G rib singlet is a man’s tank top made from organic cotton. And the regular fit and heavy weight 330gsm fabric mean that it’s going to be a popular choice. For those wearing it and for us doing the screen printing. Just size down if you need a tighter fit.
7. AS Colour Staple Active Vest
You can bring some eco appeal to your workout clothing with this AS Colour men’s Staple Active tank (code 5078). This mid weight sleeveless bit of kit is made from recycled polyester. Put that together with high quality and it easily gets a spot in our selection of eco-conscious vests and tank tops. Incidentally, the supplier states that it’s good for low to medium impact activities.
8. AS Colour Organic Rib Tank
You won’t be surprised to learn that AS Colour also offer a wide range of tanks and vest tops for women. And our first example is this delightful little number. The AS Colour women’s organic rib tank (code 4063G) is crafted from organic cotton. With some elastane added to give extra comfort. It’s an excellent choice if you want your custom top to be fashionable, slim fitting and heavy weight.
9. AS Colour Women’s Organic Ribbed Crop
And when something is good why not produce another version. Well, that’s more or less what we have we have with this women’s ribbed cropped tank top. Just like the previous item, the AS Colour 4064G is made from organic cotton. Given extra stretch with a little elastane in the blend. And again, it’s a chic piece of clothing and a lovely heavy weight at 330gsm.
10. Bella + Canvas Spaghetti Strap Vest
Right, time for another new appearance in eco-conscious vests and tank tops. Namely, Bella + Canvas, a blank brand who are green through and through. And fashion stays firmly in the picture while they’re at it. As demonstrated by their micro rib spaghetti strap tank (code 1012). A garment that’s WRAP certified, made from a cotton and poly blend and comes in cool colours.
11. Bella + Canvas Unisex Jersey
How about a unisex garment. After all, versatile styles are rarely a bad idea with custom clothing. They make life easier when picking size ranges to print. And give customers a simple choice. Well, this Bella + Canvas unisex tank top (code 3480) fits the bill beautifully. It’s a modern fit with a round neck and Airlume combed cotton is a lovely surface for your design.
12. Bella + Canvas Racer Tank
Okay, let’s have one more stylish offering from our friends at Bella + Canvas. In truth, they have an excellent selection of sleeveless stuff that goes far beyond what we’ve featured here. But their 1019 women’s racer tank deserves a spot. It has a high neck and a flattering shorter length. Plus being pre shrunk, soft and stretchy will find favour with plenty of on trend folk.
13. Neutral® Men’s Tank Top
The next batch of products comes from our friends over at Neutral® Certified Responsibility™. As with the previous two suppliers, Neutral have rock solid eco credentials. Luckily, they also have some very good vests. The one shown above is the Neutral Men’s Tank Top (code O61300). Slightly fitted with wider straps, we think this is a reliable option.
14. Neutral Men’s Wrestler Top
The next offering from Neutral® Certified Responsibility™ takes us into somewhat sportier territory. Specifically, this Neutral Men’s Wrestler Top (code O61200) features a lower neckline at the front and as the name suggests, a classic wrestler back. As you might expect, given the sporty connotations, it’s a slim fitting. A serious contender for screen printing success.
15. Neutral Ladies Tank Top
Women’s tank top styles are also included in Neutral’s collection. In addition to the men’s singlets above, we have the Neutral Ladies Tank Top (code O81300). Similar to the male version, this top has wide straps. However, in this instance a slim fitting. Made from organic Fairtrade cotton, both tick the responsibly sourced and environmentally conscious boxes.
16. Neutral Ladies Wrestler
Finally from Neutral, there’s a female take on the wrestler vest. The Neutral Ladies Wrestler top (code O81200) is made to make screen printing kinder to the environment. Again, constructed from organic Fairtrade cotton. This vest is slim fitting and has wide straps. Plus, a classic racerback styling. It’s only available in two colours, black and white.
17. Native Spirit Ladies Organic Tank
We’re nearing the end of our selection of eco-conscious vests and tank tops. The last three are from Native Spirit. They’re a blank brand who are quickly gaining a great rep for eco friendly blank fashion designed for print and embroidery. The first we’ve shown is their NS344 ladies rib top. We’re talking 260 gsm of slim fit, quality organic cotton and recycled elastane.
18. Native Spirit Sleeveless Crop Tee
Second from Native Spirit is this eco-friendly ladies’ sleeveless crop t-shirt NS342. Okay, we know, technically that’s not a vest or tank. But there aren’t any sleeves and it’s made from sustainable organic cotton. So, you can forgive us for including it. Especially seeing as it’s such a charming faded and fashionable piece. A casual fit and perfect to customise. And no label for easy rebranding.
19. Native Spirit Linen Vest Top
We’ll round off our 2024 – 2025 take on eco-conscious vests and tank tops with another from Native Spirit. And, without any doubt, it’s a case of last but not least. By which we mean that being made from cool and comfortable linen offers something different. The Native Spirit linen tank NS343 is straight fit and has a V-neck front and back. It comes in three colours, black, ivory and organic khaki.
