Title: Alstyle Charcoal Heather 50/50 Dischargeability? 4/18
Post by: DCSP John on April 18, 2014, 08:47:16 AM

Should we expect the results as, say, a Gildan Dark Heather 50/50?
We will find out soon enough, but figured I would put this out there to glean
a little insight. Anyone discharge this color shirt from Alstyle?

We had issues with these scorching in the dryer (ran the same settings as every other shirt with no issues).  Do not know why? Alstyle could never tell us why.  We pulled 3 of our larger customers off them after they rejected 1500+ pcs.  I only use Alstyle sparingly now.  Also had a lot of problems with re-died blacks.

Alstyle in general is a no go on discharge. Which is a bummer because they're a nice shirt and pretty
much the go to for streetwear brands that require giant shield prints.
