What is a Heavyweight Hoodie or Sweatshirt? Everything You Need to Know

In the world of fashion, hoodies have evolved from being mere casual wear to becoming a staple in everyone's wardrobe. However, not all hoodies are created equal. The weight of a hoodie, measured in GSM (grams per square meter, also stylized as g/m2), plays a crucial role in determining its quality, durability, and overall feel. While the standard GSM value for hoodies ranges from 280-340g/m2, KOLAB has taken it a step further by crafting their hoodies using premium 360g/m2 cotton. This article explores what sets KOLAB's heavyweight hoodies apart and why they are a must-have for anyone seeking luxury and comfort in their everyday wear.
 
Understanding GSM and Hoodie Weights
GSM, or grams per square meter, is a measure of the density of a fabric. The higher the GSM value, the heavier and more densely woven the material. Heavyweight hoodies, typically those with a GSM of 350g/m2 or more, are known for their superior quality, durability, and warmth. They are less prone to wear and tear, pilling, and developing holes compared to their lighter counterparts.
 
KOLAB's 360g/m2 Cotton: A Cut Above the Rest
KOLAB's commitment to quality is evident in their choice of 360g/m2 cotton for their hoodies and sweatshirts. This premium fabric is crafted from 100% french terry cotton, ensuring a softer, smoother, and more luxurious feel against the skin. The dense weave of the 360g/m2 cotton not only provides exceptional durability but also offers superior insulation, making KOLAB's hoodies perfect for cooler weather.
 
The Luxury Look and Feel
One of the most striking aspects of KOLAB's 360g/m2 cotton hoodies and sweatshirts is their ability to exude luxury. The substantial weight of the fabric lends a premium look and feel to these garments, setting them apart from lighter, more conventional options. The dense material drapes elegantly on the body, creating a refined silhouette that elevates the hoodie from a casual staple to a fashionable statement piece.
 
KOLAB's Attention to Detail
In addition to the premium 360g/m2 cotton, KOLAB's hoodies and sweatshirts are designed with meticulous attention to detail. The way we have designed the construction of the hoodie and sweatshirt is different from your typical hoodies or sweatshirts - we have created a new way to cut a hoodie pattern and have sewn the pieces in a way that looks more elevated than a regular hoodie; the key is our hoodies actually have a design whilst most hoodies are standard.
 
Additionally, because we truly want our wearers to get the most out of KOLAB garments, we added a hidden zipper pocket INSIDE the kangaroo pockets of our hoodies so you can keep your phone, cards, and keys safe without worrying about them falling out.
 
Our sweatshirts also have two invisible pockets on either side so you can either go for a smooth no-pocket look or use them to keep your valuables safe and hands warm.
 
Versatility in Style
KOLAB's heavyweight hoodies and sweatshirts offer unparalleled versatility in terms of styling. Whether dressed up with tailored trousers and dress shoes or try a casual look with one of our jackets:
