How to choose French terry for hoodies
Hoodie buyers often start with a target GSM, but the final garment depends on more
than weight. The loop size, yarn, cotton and polyester ratio, brushing option,
dyeing method and shrinkage control all affect the result.
For premium streetwear, we normally compare a buyer sample or fit photo first,
then suggest a fabric direction that can hold shape while staying comfortable.
Key decisions for hoodie fabric RFQ
Loop-back or brushed
Loop-back terry is cleaner and breathable. Brushed fleece feels warmer and softer inside.
Season and weight
Spring styles may use lighter terry, while winter hoodies often need heavier GSM.
Wash and shrinkage
Snow wash, garment wash and low-shrinkage targets should be discussed before sampling.
