Why GSM Matters: Understanding Fabric Quality in Fashion

The quality of the fabric you choose in streetwear makes all the difference when it comes to your clothing's appearance, feel, and durability. Dream loom is proud of the high-quality materials used to ensure that all clothing is durable, comfortable, but also in trend. There's a major differentiating factor at Dream loom: we use premium fabrics with higher GSM---grams per square meter.

So, what's GSM really? Why should you care? In this blog post, we're going to lay bare why GSM matters for oversized tees and hoodies in fashion. Being aware of GSM can greatly impact your purchase decisions when it comes to streetwear. Add to this, we'd prove to you how Dreamloom's premium 240 GSM tees and 300-400 GSM hoodies feel in comparison to other brand labels, it's just so much softer and durable.

So, with all that said, let's get to why GSM is such an important game-changer in fashion and what this actually means for a clothing brand like Dreamloom quality-wise.

 

What is GSM? A Simple Explanation

GSM is the abbreviation used for grams per square meter, referring to weight by which one refers to fabric. That is, it is referring to the grams by which one square meter of fabric weighs. The greater the GSM number, the heavier and thicker the fabric is, and generally speaking, it measures better quality.

For example, if a fabric has a GSM of 120, it will be lighter and thinner than one with a GSM of 240. While light-weighted fabrics can be useful for particular kinds of clothes, more general benefits include the fact that higher GSMs are stronger, provide more stability, and are more luxurious. That is why Dream Loom selects the higher GSM fabrics for streetwear: we believe in offering quality you can feel.
So why does GSM matter? If you've ever worn a t-shirt that lost its shape after a few washes or a hoodie that felt flimsy and just didn't last, chances are it was made from lower GSM fabric. At Dreamloom, we want to give you clothing that doesn't only look great but stands the test of time. That's where our higher GSM fabrics come in.

 

Why Dream Loom chooses higher GSM fabrics

At dream loom, we think your clothes are about something more than fashion; they have to feel great and last long. That is why we use such fabrics of a higher GSM for street wear in oversized t-shirts and hoodies. For oversized t-shirts, we will use fabric of 240 GSM and with the hoodies, we go much further. It will opt for fabrics in the 300-400GSM range.

Why these numbers? 240 GSM shirts are thicker than most standard tees, making it more durable and having a better structure-just perfect for an oversized fit. Soft, substantial, and premium, as you'd want high-quality streetwear to look and feel like, these are qualities that you can expect from 300-400 GSM hoodies, which are even more robust-you'd get the warmth and comfort with an extra-heavyer feel that gives your hoodie an excellent shape without feeling bulky enough.

The t-shirts are made of French terry cotton, so Dream loom puts their quality another notch higher. French terry has been favored because it is very soft and moisture-wicking, making it an excellent material for the whole day. Using the best GSM fabrics from Dream loom not only ensures that the oversized t-shirts and hoodies will look good but also would last longer compared to those produced from lighter and lower GSM clothes.

 

Benefits of High GSM in Streetwear

Quality of the fabric plays the most important role in the streetwear industry, especially oversized fashion. High GSM fabrics like Dream loom utilise might be a bit more expensive, and it is not flashy like other materials, but it has numerous benefits that make your clothing look better and feel better at the same time.
Actually, the main advantage of high GSM is durability. Since a thicker material is obviously sturdier and more resistant to wear, your Dream loom oversized t-shirt or hoodie will remain in great shape even with continuous use and washing. Lower GSM materials tend to stretch, lose their shape, or fade over time, but such happens not with Dream loom's high GSM materials. Thus you get a piece that still looks new after months of wear.

It is also comfortable. GSM high value fabrics, such as our 240 GSM t-shirts, give a sensation on your skin. This brings about a heavier more solid feel, that is the weighty comfort which makes oversized fashion so appealing-you get a loose relaxed fit without the feeling of wearing something flimsy. The same thing goes with our hoodies 300-400 GSM. It is giving warmth and softness without resulting in bulk and discomfort.

Lastly, higher GSM ensures that you will get a better form and shape. Lower GSM fabrics cling and sag while the GSM contributes high material holding their form better so oversized pieces give the perfect drape and silhouette, which is really important to streetwear enthusiasts, as it keeps the outfit looking on point all day long.
Dream loom knows how such factors must be; that is why we compromise on high GSM fabrics. It mainly gives the street wear that premium and long-lasting quality.

 

Dream Loom vs. The Competition: Why GSM Makes a Difference

Thus, the GSM difference between Dreamloom's 240 oversized t-shirts and 300-400 hoodies, similar products from other brands, is in a different league. Meantime, for example, fast fashion or budget brands are widely using fabrics of 150-180 GSM, for t-shirts and 200-250 GSM, for hoodies. Such lightweight fabrics feel soft to the wearer at first but begin to wear out or stretch across the seams or lose their coloring within a few washes.

Of course, in this case, since Dreamloom only uses higher GSM fabrics, our products are built to last. For example, 240 GSM french terry cotton, used for oversized tees, strikes the perfect balance between thickness and comfort. It is solid enough to feel premium but light enough to wear under all-weather conditions with ease. Meanwhile, our 300-400 GSM hoodies are sure to provide that extra warmth and durability, perfect for streetwear lovers that cannot go about in anything less than a classy wonder that stays on point with the style as much as the substance.

Saving a couple of buck with a lower GSM fabric may seem great in the short-term but, realistically, those clothes will get worn out sooner, they will stretch out, and then lose their appeal. What dream loom offers is an investment in quality—our oversized t-shirts and hoodies are built to be wardrobe staples that will keep you going season after season in their fit, color, and style.
For fashion-conscious Indian youth who desire their clothing to make a statement, dreamloom's higher GSM fabrics deliver both the look and the life that other brands cannot even come close to.
