T-Shirt GSM Explained: How to Choose the Right Weight

T-Shirt GSM Explained: How to Choose the Right Weight

GSM stands for grams per square metre — a simple way to measure how heavy and dense a fabric is. Here's what it means for how a t-shirt feels.

Lightweight

Thinner, cooler, and more breathable. Great for hot weather or layering.

Midweight

The everyday sweet spot. Substantial enough to hold its shape, soft enough for daily wear.

Heavyweight

Denser, more structured, and more durable. Feels premium and drapes well, at the cost of being warmer.

Lighter doesn't mean lower quality, and heavier doesn't always mean better — it depends on how and where you'll wear it.
