www.images-magazine.com MARCH 2019 images 51 A merican Apparel’s extensive 2019 line includes additions to some of its most loved collections, including Tri-Blend, Poly-Cotton and Fine Jersey, while introducing never before seen styles made from Heavy Terry, French Terry and more. Tri-Blend The brand reports that its “perfect blend of polyester, viscose and cotton produces the softest, smoothest tri-blend fabric. It is now available in seven new athleisure-inspired styles – from cropped tees to hoodies, such as the Women’s Tri-Blend Cropped Hoodie (RSATR3353W). Poly-Cotton The Poly-Cotton line is an American Apparel original. The 50% combed ringspun cotton/50% polyester fabric is super-soft and performs extremely well as a result of polyester’s colourfastness and resistance to shrinkage. The Poly- Cotton styles are available in both vibrant solids and soft heathers. Sports-inspired Sports-inspired options from the Poly- Cotton line are perfect for anyone who wants classic casual styles with a modern twist. The new Women’s Ringer T-Shirt (BB310W) and Ringer T-Shirt Dress (RSABB3274W) are an interpretation of classic designs, featuring contrast rib on the neck and sleeves for a stylish touch. The dress has a shapely contoured silhouette and is available in sizes XS-XL in three popular shades, while the T-shirt comes in sizes S-XL in six colours. While there is a major focus on women’s styles, the line also features even more Unisex styles, such as the new V-Neck Football T-Shirt and S/S Raglan T-Shirt, in eight colours. Interlock Three additions to the Interlock line complete this sportswear- derived collection: a track jacket (RSA73476W) and pant set with the matching RSA7423W Unisex Interlock Basketball Shorts. Heavy Terry For added warmth in the cooler months, the Heavy Terry collection offers three female-focused styles, including the HVT3529W Cropped Club Jacket, as seen on this month’s cover – an updated interpretation of the classic American varsity jacket. French Terry Reimagined and refined to be lightweight, warm and wearable, the American Apparel French Terry collection features six styles in six new pigment-dyed colours. These faded hues range from muted cool tones to subdued brights, perfectly paired with classic silhouettes like the TF478W French Terry Garment Dyed Crew. Power Wash The Power Wash styles have been enzyme treated to feel like they have been washed dozens of times. “With the lived-in feel of your favourite T-shirt, our Power Wash styles offer a soft hand, ample drape, no shrinkage and a smooth surface that’s perfect for DTG printing,” says American Apparel. The Power Wash fabric has been introduced in the 2011W Unisex Short Sleeve T-Shirt and RSA2320W Women’s Deep U-Neck T-Shirt. Colour and comfort “When loyal fans think of American Apparel, they think of our beloved Fine Jersey T-shirts, the genesis of American Apparel’s popularity,” says the brand. Fine Jersey Now, with four colours added to each of its best-selling styles – The Unisex 2001W Fine Jersey Short Sleeve T-Shirt and the 2102W Women’s Fine Jersey Short Sleeve T-Shirt – there is even more choice and over 20 colours to choose from. Fine Jersey is now also available in a Youth (2201W) and an Organic (2001ORGW) style. “The Fine Jersey line of tees not only delivers standout style, it also takes comfort to another level,” adds American Apparel. “Crafted from incredibly soft combed ringspun yarns, these 100% cotton tees feel so luxurious against the skin, you’ll never want to take them off. The good news is that these yarns are stronger than your average cotton so your Fine Jersey shirts will stand the test of time. “This is the signature American Apparel fabric. It is exceptionally smooth and tight-knit, offering the perfect surface for printing.” www.americanapparelwholesale. com/eu CP COVER PROMOTION [L to R] New for 2019, the athleisure-inspired Women’s Tri-Blend Cropped Hoodie; The new Ringer T-Shirt Dress – a sporty interpretation of a classic style
