Choosing heavyweight blank hoodies for a clothing brand starts with the garment your customer will wear. A larger GSM number does not tell you whether the fit, fabric surface or decoration will suit your collection. Compare an actual style, a measurement chart and a sample before planning your order.
Compare fabric weight and composition together
GSM means grams per square metre of fabric. It describes fabric weight, not the total weight of a finished hoodie. Read it alongside fibre composition and construction. Two hoodies can have similar GSM values but different proportions, finishes and fabric surfaces. Confirm softness, shrinkage expectations and decoration results on the selected sample instead of treating weight as a quality guarantee.
Three hoodie references from our current catalog
These are product references to compare, not interchangeable versions of one hoodie. Specifications below were checked against our product pages on 28 October 2026; confirm the selected colour, size assortment and supply terms when requesting a quotation.

| DY070 — 520 GSM | 100% cotton | Oversized pullover, drawstring-free hood, dropped shoulders and kangaroo pocket | Confirm colour and size availability and the applicable blank or branded order quantity |
Define the oversized fit with measurements
Check chest, body length, shoulder and sleeve measurements together. Короткий и широкий корпус изделия создаёт иной силуэт, чем более длинное худи свободного кроя. Going up a size is not a substitute for specifying the proportions you want. Before comparing charts, check whether a chest measurement is a flat width or a circumference; do not compare those numbers directly.
Use a reference garment and record the measuring method. Рассмотрите образец со слоем, который обычно носит ваш клиент.. Also check hood shape, neck opening, cuffs and hem. Keep the chosen style code and approved size chart with your sample notes.
Plan printing or embroidery on the actual hoodie
Send artwork at its intended dimensions and show its placement relative to seams, the neckline or a pocket. A large chest design needs to be reviewed against the kangaroo pocket and usable area. Sleeve embroidery requires a clear position and orientation. For tonal embroidery, confirm the thread colour against the actual garment colour rather than a screen image alone.
Ask for the proposed process to be assessed on the selected fabric and colourway. Review the sample for placement, legibility, puckering and the feel of the decorated area. Наш услуга по настройке логотипа can review printing and embroidery requirements; feasibility and cost are confirmed for the specific garment and artwork.
Separate stock blanks from made-to-order production
A catalog listing is not a promise that every colour and size is in stock. DY031 and DY049A are made-to-order styles, so their minimum quantities, sample costs and lead times require a quotation. For other styles, confirm availability and whether you need undecorated blanks or одежда под частной торговой маркой. Label changes, decoration and packaging should be listed separately in the brief.
Prepare a quotation that can be checked
Send the style code, colour references, quantity in each size, artwork dimensions and placement, label requirements, delivery destination and required delivery window. State what needs approval on the sample. Запросите подробный расчёт, в котором стоимость изделия указана отдельно от стоимости нанесения изображений и этикеток. Попросите указать расходы на упаковку и доставку отдельно, чтобы можно было наглядно сравнить изменения.
