Introduction: Why GSM Matters When Choosing the Right T-Shirt

Introduction: Why GSM Matters When Choosing the Right T-Shirt

When shopping for the perfect t-shirt, most people focus on color, fit, or design. But there’s one detail that makes a huge difference in how a t-shirt feels, drapes, and lasts — it’s called GSM.

At Tevayaa, we offer thoughtfully designed classic t-shirts in 180 GSM and 240 GSM, along with luxurious French Terry tees in 280 GSM, to suit your unique style and comfort needs. But what exactly is GSM, and why should you care?

Let’s break it down.

What Is GSM in T-Shirts?

GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter — a measure of the fabric's weight and density. In simple terms, GSM tells you how thick, heavy, or light a t-shirt will feel when you wear it.

GSM Range Fabric Weight Feel on Skin Common Use
160–180 GSM Lightweight Soft, breathable Summer basics, layering tees
200–240 GSM Midweight Balanced & durable Everyday classics, versatile wear
260+ GSM Heavyweight Structured & cozy Sweatshirts, French terry tees
