400–500 GSM / TERRY & FLEECE
Sample-approved 400–500 GSM fleece and French terry for hoodies that look dense on camera, hold a boxy shape and carry heavy print or embroidery. Built to your pattern, not picked from stock blanks.
Actual heavyweight sample and fabric reference. Your fabric weight and face are chosen for your own brief.
Weight alone does not describe a hoodie. Review the inside face, the way the body holds its shape and the construction together. Confirm the fabric and fit on your physical sample.
An exposed loop interior. Specify the hand-feel, composition and target weight alongside your fit reference.
A raised, brushed interior. Compare the softness and body of the actual fabric before choosing the sample direction.
Start with your target weight, season and hand-feel. Compare 400–500 GSM options alongside composition and knit structure, then approve the drape on the actual garment sample.
If your reference calls for lighter or heavier fabric, include it in the brief so availability, construction and price can be reviewed. Compare fleece weights and fabric feel →
Have a reference? Send your hoodie brief →The fabric is only part of the silhouette. Define the hood, shoulder and rib together, then check how they sit on the same physical sample.
Choose the hood depth, opening and single- or double-layer construction. An extra layer changes the weight around the neck; the pattern and fabric need to support the profile you want.
On the sample: Check the hood up and down, the neckline opening and whether the joining seam sits comfortably without pulling.
Set the shoulder position alongside chest width, body length and armhole depth. A wider shoulder alone does not define a boxy or oversized fit; these measurements shape the sleeve and body together.
On the sample: Review front and side views on the intended fit model, then check arm movement, underarm folds and where the hem finishes.
Specify the rib depth, composition and finished opening. Decide whether the hem should draw the body inward or sit more openly, and how firmly the cuff should hold at the wrist.
On the sample: Check stretch and recovery, the rib joining seam and the finished shape after the agreed care cycle.
Send these choices with your pullover or zip-up reference. For measurement and construction details, use our hoodie fit and construction guide.
A full zip changes how heavy fleece hangs. We set the zipper tape, placket and pocket construction to the fabric weight so the front lies flat instead of rippling.
Choose the zipper gauge, finish and puller shape on the trim sheet; we review them on the sample before bulk.
Match the hood lining and zip-guard finish to the fabric so the neckline holds its shape zipped or open.

French terry and brushed fleece can share a GSM number yet differ in loops, nap, loft, hand and garment behavior. Compare identified materials and approval states instead of treating weight as a quality grade.
