What buyers usually mean by heavyweight T-shirt fabric
For streetwear brands, heavyweight T-shirt fabric is usually a stable single-knit
jersey or double-yarn jersey with enough body for oversized shapes. The buyer is
not only asking for a high GSM number; they are asking for a fabric that keeps the
garment shape, feels premium, and still has the right drape after washing.
We normally compare GSM, yarn count, cotton quality, shrinkage target, finishing
and hand feel against your reference sample before recommending a direction.
Key specs to confirm before quotation
Weight and structure
Share target GSM and whether you prefer compact jersey, double-yarn jersey or a softer drape.
Fiber and stretch
Most projects use cotton or cotton spandex. Elastane changes recovery, width and cost.
Garment fit
Boxy tees, drop shoulder tees and kidswear need different width and hand-feel decisions.
