Read the guide Fabric comparisonTo specify hoodie fabric for custom production, define the intended use before selecting a GSM target. GSM means grams per square meter: it measures fabric mass per unit area, not overall quality, warmth, or durability by itself. A useful purchase specification combines a finished fabric weight range with fiber composition, knit construction, inside finish, shrinkage limits, hand feel, opacity, and compatible rib. Compare samples after washing as well as before washing, and record the approved result in a technical pack. For this factory buying program, MOQ is 100 pcs, samples take approximately 7 days once the brief and materials are confirmed, and bulk timing depends on quantity.

This changes exterior handfeel, decoration options, snag exposure, and the appearance of wear and washing. It does not automatically establish fabric weight, warmth, durability, or quality. Buyers should compare identified fabric references, approve the intended construction, and review decorated and washed samples before bulk production. MOQ is 100 pcs; samples take approximately 7 days once the brief and materials are confirmed, while bulk timing depends on quantity.
