The Complete SHOPHOODIE® Guide to Heavyweight Hoodies
Understanding GSM
GSM means grams per square metre. SHOPHOODIE® offers hoodies across different weights, including substantial 400 GSM, 430 GSM, 500 GSM and 530 GSM options. A higher GSM generally means more fabric weight, but it does not automatically make one garment better than another.
350 vs 400 vs 500+ GSM
Moderate weights can offer versatility; 400 GSM provides substantial streetwear presence; 500 GSM and above moves into ultra-heavyweight territory for shoppers specifically seeking greater substance and structure.
Fit matters as much as weight
Boxy, oversized and drop-shoulder construction changes how fabric sits on the body. Always use garment measurements alongside GSM.
