Lane Seven

Lane Seven is a Los Angeles blanks house, founded in 2014, that built its reputation on premium streetwear-cut fleece for decorators. It sits in the same conversation as Independent Trading Co. and Cotton Heritage: heavier fabrics, boxier fits, and surfaces engineered to print clean.

Fabric & decoration behavior

The 3-end fleece is the selling point for printers: the tight knit and cotton face give a flat, low-fuzz surface that takes screen printing and DTG with less fibrillation than standard sweatshirt fleece, and Lane Seven cites under 5% shrinkage.
