Why fabric weight changes a tee
The difference between 180gsm and 260gsm is more than a number—it changes drape, structure, and season.

Weight shapes the silhouette
Lighter jersey follows the body and feels breezy. Heavier jersey holds a cleaner line, masks what sits underneath, and gives an oversized fit more intention.
Neither is universally better. The right choice depends on climate, styling, and how much structure you want from a single layer.
Look beyond gsm
Fiber length, knit density, finishing, and collar construction all influence how a tee feels after its first month of wear.
