Did you know, that buttons on @neutral_certifiedokay polo shirts are made from pressed waste cotton?

It’s said that somewhere deep below the streets of London lies a secret chamber that houses a vast collection of iconic t-shirts from yesteryear. A hidden treasure trove, precise location known only to a few and admittance limited to fewer still. This carefully curated horde of classic tees, preserved for posterity, is rumoured to contain a wealth of rare and influential pieces. To be specific, the earliest works of a group of gifted friends destined to become the renowned garment printers, Fifth Column. Urban legend, the fanciful musings of those inclined to mystery and myth? We couldn’t possibly comment. Other than to say, the gaffer here at Fifth Column has an awfully big bunch of keys and some of them are odd shapes and kind of archaic looking. All of which has probably given you a pretty good clue as to the nature of this article. Yes, you’ve guessed, it’s time for more vintage punk t-shirts from the Fifth Column vault! One point worthy of mention before getting into the vintage punk t-shirts. We no longer print any of these tees. This is strictly for fun, a little stroll down memory lane. #screenprinting #vintage #punk #tbt

The festivities fade with alarming speed once you get a little deeper into January. And wow, can it feel cold. Here at Fifth Column, we’re lucky to have the heat of busy printing carousels to keep us warm, but we still look forward to bright things on the horizon. The @wearestanleystella Spring Summer launch is one of them, a glimpse into what Stanley Stella have come up with for warmer days. This is our take on what SS22 offers, beyond their existing ranges, for the screen printing and embroidery sector in 2022. There is a plenty happening in this launch, as is usually the case with Stanley Stella when they unveil new lines. They place great emphasis on quality allied to sustainability and have a distinct knack of keeping their finger on fashion and seasonal trends. As a consequence, their collections tend to command your attention and spring some pleasant surprises into the bargain. We’re pleased to say that SS22 is no exception. #fifthcolumn #screenprinting

Another somewhat crazy year is drawing to a close and we're getting ready for a well earned Christmas break between 22nd December and 6th January 2022.
We're still working flat out to fulfil last minute orders but we wanted to take a moment to thank you for your custom and interest during 2021. If we don't speak to you before, stay safe and have a fabulous festive holiday.
🎉😊🤗 #screenprinting

Most of us have at least one or two t-shirts in our wardrobe. They’re easy to wear, easy to wash, and generally very versatile garments. Informal and understated, practical yet still stylish, there’s no pretention with a t-shirt. Plus, they’re inexpensive and the unfussiness of them feels somehow modern and classless. In some ways, they’re the epitome of contemporary apparel, an embodiment of our current approach to clothing. Yet in truth, the t-shirt, or some form of it, has been around for a long time. The modern history of the t-shirt dates back to the 1800s, but its origins can be seen in some of our earliest forms of clothing. Link in bio for full article

January can be a bit grim and grey here in Britain, so we thought we’d cheer ourselves up with a stroll down memory lane. Our latest blog post with more classic punk tees, is another fond look back at Fifth Column’s humble beginnings. In truth, we never need much excuse to dip into the archives and peruse our heritage shelves. There’s something about these old punk shirts that make us feel good. #screenprinting #vintage #punk

Hello 2021! There might be snow in the air and sub-zero temperatures, but the fashion world is already gearing up for summer 2021. And a good thing too! Grey skies and grim news have made this January tougher than usual. Just when we all need a little lift, something to remind us that happier times and freer days are on the horizon, the Stanley Stella Spring Summer 2021 Collection has landed. Here at Fifth Column, like a lot of folk involved in ethical printing and personalisation, we’ve grown to really look forward to new arrivals from our friends at Stanley Stella. Their seasonal ranges tend to be a treat and this latest offering is no exception. There are a number of fabulous new styles and some scintillating new colours. So here we go, a flavour of the Stanley Stella Spring Summer 2021 Collection. If you’re into sustainably sourced clothing, it’s well worth a look.

Ever wondered how tees are made? This years @teesofsolidarity t-shirts are 100% organic, vegan, Fair Wear certified, and proudly printed by our team. From the production process to the content of the inks, each stage of the manufacturing process adheres to great standards of sustainability and environmentalism. In order to eliminate the use of films we use a direct-to-screen machine. We dispose of any remaining materials through accredited companies, minimising waste and recycling where possible. SolidariTee decided to use a 100% organic cotton tee, which is natural and GMO-free, means that less water than standard cotton and no chemicals are required in production. The inks used to print the design on the tee are vegan and 100% phthalate free, ensuring that no animal products, such as gelatine are used in either the ink or the emulsions. It is important to us that when you buy a SolidariTee you can be assured that sustainability and environmentalism is at the centre of how we manufacture our t-shirts and therefore fundraise, raise awareness and show solidarity with asylum seekers and refugees. To purchase your SolidariTee head to this online shop at https://solidaritee.org.uk/shop or buy one from a rep at your university! All proceeds go towards funding legal aid for asylum-seekers and refugees.

There are a lot of factors involved in creating the best custom t-shirts and finding the right combination is what ensures a great finished product 👕
And it also impacts the price 💸
Nobody wants to pay more than they have to for something.
Finding the best value for money is both common sense and good business practice. Getting t-shirts printed is no different from anything else, in that regard 😉
We thought it would be helpful to put together a short list – some t-shirt printing tips and how to keep the cost down on your next customisation project.

Creating customised clothes for the working environment, whether it be corporate clothing or small business uniforms, poses specific challenges 👷‍♂️ We’re good with that, we like a challenge✊ A vital element in getting great printed or embroidered workwear is the blank garments themselves 👕 Luckily, we get to see plenty of them and thought it high time we put together another list! So, here are 9 of the best workwear garments for printing and embroidery (numbered for reference rather than ranking). Part of our best blank merchandise 2020 series.🏅

You need great blank garments if you want to produce great custom clothing 🙌 The polo shirt, first seen in Manipur, India in the late 19th century, has come a long way. It’s become a staple for printing and embroidery. A practical and versatile piece of apparel that has a wide appeal 👕 Polo shirts are great for workwear, a favourite for organisations and work places. The polo is also an enduring fashion statement and standard kit for sports related activities. Choosing the right one to personalise can make all the difference to the finished project. So here are 9 of the best polo shirts for printing and embroidery (numbered for reference rather than ranking). Part of our best blank merchandise 2020 series🏅
By the way, these polos are sustainably sourced and ethically manufactured. 🌍Many are made from organic cotton. These aspects are really important to us here at Fifth Column. We love what we do, but prefer to ink and stitch stuff which is made by principled people who are trying to make our industry more ecologically aware and socially responsible.
