Why It Matters

Comparing GSM levels helps brands avoid choosing a blank only by appearance. It also helps teams communicate product expectations before sampling.

Common Misconceptions

• 180GSM is not automatically low quality.
• 300GSM is not automatically better than 230GSM.
• Hoodie GSM and T-shirt GSM should not be compared without considering garment type.
• GSM does not confirm fabric composition.

How It Relates to Blank Apparel

Blank apparel planning uses GSM to compare product direction. A brand might use lighter tees for one product line and heavier washed tees or hoodies for another.

Product Recommendations

• Use 230GSM Vintage Snow Washed Tee as the current 230GSM tee reference.
• Use 230GSM Solid Color Tee when comparing solid-color tee options.
• Use 300GSM Solid Color Hoodie as the current 300GSM hoodie reference.
• Use 270GSM and 350GSM tees if a heavier T-shirt comparison is needed.
