About Stanley/Stella

Founded back in 2012, Stanley/Stella set out to prove that blank clothing for printing could be sustainable, ethically made and genuinely stylish at the same time. It works with certified organic cotton, recycled fibres and TENCEL™ Modal, and it is a member of the Fair Wear Foundation, which works to improve conditions for garment workers.

Its garments carry certifications including OEKO-TEX Standard 100, and the brand is PETA Approved Vegan. Add modern fits and a wide choice of colours, and it is clear to see why Stanley/Stella quickly became a first choice for brands that want their merchandise to reflect their values. You can see how it compares with the other blanks we print in our guide to the best clothing brands to personalise.

A Focus on Recycled Cotton

The headline story of SS26 is recycled cotton. Stanley/Stella's recycled cotton comes from pre-consumer waste: clean, undyed fibres that break or fall out while yarn is being spun, which are collected and spun into new yarn. It is blended with certified organic cotton. Most of the new recycled styles are an even 50/50 mix of recycled and organic ring spun cotton.

The result is soft, durable and print ready, with a reliable fit from one order to the next. For businesses, recycled cotton is a great way to promote sustainability and CSR reporting, because it uses material that would otherwise go to waste.

Introducing TENCEL™ Modal

SS26 also features TENCEL™ Modal. TENCEL™ Modal is a fibre made from wood from certified or controlled sources, and Lenzing, the company that makes it, says it is produced with at least 50% less water and carbon emissions than generic modal.

Blended with organic cotton, it comes with a smooth, soft, slightly silky handfeel and a fluid drape. It is also a joy to print and embroider, with vibrant colours and crisp details that hold up wash after wash. You will find it in the Blaker t-shirt and the Astor zip hoodie.

These are the six Stanley/Stella SS26 styles we are sure will be most popular with our customers, from everyday tees to premium zip hoodies.

Hypster STTU258

The Hypster is the unisex boxy t-shirt in recycled cotton, and our pick for brands that want a modern streetwear shape. The fabric washed finish leaves it with a premium handfeel straight out of the box, and the wide, flat front and back are made for big screen prints, which has made it one of our favourite blanks for custom printed t-shirts.

• Fit. Boxy, oversized fit with set in sleeves and a forwarded shoulder seam

Blaker STTU263

The Blaker is a lightweight t-shirt in cotton and TENCEL™ Modal, with a smooth, fluid drape that gives off the feel of a fashion tee rather than a promotional one. It is certain to become a top seller for summer merch, hospitality teams and retail ranges where comfort comes first.

More From the Stanley/Stella SS26 Range

The wider SS26 drop goes even further still. Heavier oversized pieces such as the Ryler STSU255 and the Voicer STSU256, both 400gsm in organic and recycled cotton, are made for statement streetwear, and there are also women's Stella versions of several styles, including the Stella Gamechanger STSW268 and Stella Thinker STSW254.

They sit alongside long standing Stanley/Stella favourites such as the Creator 2.0 t-shirt, the Slammer 2.0 hoodie, the Blaster 2.0, a true oversized tee with a high neck, and the Freestyler, a relaxed fit heavy t-shirt in organic cotton that allows for big front prints like the Camel's Smoke design below. For more hoodie options, see our round up of the top hoodies for printing and embroidery. If you are looking for heavier styles and outerwear for the colder months, see our guide to the new Stanley/Stella Autumn Winter 2026 collection.

Printing and Embroidering Stanley/Stella in the UK

Every style in the SS26 range works with all of our decoration methods. The smooth, ring spun fabrics give a clean surface for sharp detail, and the heavier recycled cotton pieces hold large prints and embroidered logos without distortion.

Method	Best for	Minimum order
Screen printing	Bold designs in a few colours, larger runs and exact Pantone matching	20 units
Direct to garment	Full colour and photographic designs, and smaller runs	8 units
Direct to film	Bright full colour designs, including on dark garments	8 units
Embroidery	Chest logos on hoodies, zips and sweatshirts with a premium finish	8 units

For a standout finish, a raised puff print or a large jumbo print suits the Hypster and the heavier hoodies well, and every one of the colours in your artwork can be mixed to your Pantone references. We can also relabel your Stanley/Stella garments with your own printed or woven neck label.

Stanley/Stella Garments We Have Printed

These are real jobs from our own presses, all printed on Stanley/Stella garments. They show how well the brand's organic cotton takes big, bold screen prints.

Camel's Smoke Jumbo Front Print

A two colour screen print in sky blue and black, printed with our jumbo screens right across the front of a white Stanley/Stella Freestyler, the 240gsm organic cotton tee with a relaxed fit. The heavy organic cotton holds the fine detail in the illustration and keeps the blue bright and solid.

Some Trust in Chariots Oversized Back Print

For this one colour black back print, we created the artwork visual first so our client could approve the size and position, then screen printed it as an oversized print across the back of a white Stanley/Stella t-shirt. A print this size runs from just below the collar towards the hem, which is exactly what our jumbo screen printing was built for.

Citizen of Heaven World Map Back Print

A white world map and lettering printed across the full back of black Stanley/Stella Creator 2.0 t-shirts, the brand's iconic organic cotton tee. White print on a dark garment needs a strong print, and the tightly knitted organic cotton gives it a solid base.
