By Weavnora · Updated
Direct answer
What buyers need to know
Hoodie fleece GSM is the fabric weight per square metre and should be selected with fiber, knit structure, brushing, fit, and wash route—not alone. For Weavnora, freeze the hoodie fleece brief and decoration on sample, while 100% cotton tee programs commonly target 220–300 GSM; confirm the sample in about 7 days after confirmation and plan the 1,000-piece style MOQ into an approximately 30-day bulk window (project-dependent) for NA/EU buyers.

Buyer Decision Checklist
Before approval, record the named GSM, tolerance, fiber, construction, brushing, points of measure, hood and rib details, wash route, decoration method, color/size mix, and ship-to market. Keep the approved swatch and finished sample with the style code. Release only the same specification into the MOQ; a lighter substitute or changed w
Construction and Quality Controls
A buyer should treat GSM as one line in a complete specification. Check the face and back separately, record whether the fleece is brushed, and compare the handfeel after the planned wash. Confirm chest, body length, sleeve, hood opening, cuff, hem, and rib recovery against the size chart. Review seam bulk and decoration placement on the final fabric, not on a lighter substitute. Keep shade approval tied to the same lot and color/size mix.

Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
Is a higher hoodie fleece GSM always warmer?
No. GSM is weight per square metre. Fiber, brushing, knit density, construction, fit, and finishing also affect warmth and handfeel.
Should GSM be approved before decoration?
Yes. Approve decoration on the same fleece construction, GSM, and wash route planned for bulk; a lighter substitute can change placement and appearance.

Weavnora commonly discusses 100% cotton tee programs in the buyer-selected 220–300 GSM range. Hoodie fleece GSM is a separate brief and must be confirmed on its own sample.
