What Does GSM Mean on a Hoodie Label?
GSM is grams per square metre of fabric, not the total finished garment weight. Two hoodies with the same GSM can feel different because of composition, finishing and knit structure.
What to look for before buying
Use GSM as one comparison point alongside cut, care instructions and actual garment measurements. Your decision should reflect how the garment will be worn, not simply the label or a photograph. When comparing products online, inspect the listed fabric weight, the garment cut and the size information.
Compare two SHOPHOODIE® options
For a practical starting point, compare the 400 GSM Grand Hoodie (400 GSM) with the Boxy Heavyweight Drop-Shoulder Hoodie (430 GSM). These are distinct products in the current SHOPHOODIE® catalogue; the details and current available variants are on their product pages.
How to make your choice
Use GSM as one comparison point alongside cut, care instructions and actual garment measurements. Consider how each option would work with trousers, footwear and outerwear you already own. A good purchase is one that fits your style and daily needs.
Before checkout
Confirm the product measurements, colour options, material information, delivery terms and return policy on the live listing. GSM refers to fabric mass per square metre, not the total weight of the finished garment; it does not independently guarantee warmth, softness or durability.
