What does 400 GSM mean for the French Terry hoodie?

GSM (grams per square meter) measures how dense and heavy a fabric is. The higher the value, the more material goes into every square meter.

  • 400 GSM: One square meter of the fabric weighs 400 grams. The fabric is dense and keeps its shape.
  • French Terry: Smooth and matte outside, open loops inside. No brushed fleece lining.
  • 100% cotton: Combed cotton with no polyester content, washed after sewing for a soft feel.

Our promise: If your hoodie doesn't win you over, you can return it within 30 days. Return shipping is free from Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
