Hoodie For Men's

Fabric composition

100% cotton: Offers the ultimate in natural softness and breathability, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin. It is also hypoallergenic, but pure cotton is more prone to shrinking with hot washes and may wear out more quickly than blends.

Ringspun or combed cotton: These varieties use finer, more tightly spun or combed yarns, resulting in a smoother, softer fabric that is more resistant to pilling.

Organic cotton: A more sustainable choice grown without harmful pesticides. It offers the same benefits as conventional cotton while being gentler on the environment.

Cotton-polyester blends: This combination merges the softness of cotton with the durability and wrinkle resistance of polyester. Blends like 80/20 or 65/35 are common for balancing comfort and longevity.

Cotton fleece: A popular option for cozy hoodies, featuring a soft, brushed inner lining that traps warmth. It is a durable and insulating fabric for colder weather.

Fabric weight (GSM)

A hoodie's weight, measured in grams per square meter (GSM), affects its warmth, feel, and structure.

200–300 GSM (Lightweight): Suited for layering or mild weather.

300–400 GSM (Midweight): A versatile option for year-round wear.

400+ GSM (Heavyweight): Offers premium quality, extra durability, and superior warmth for colder climates.

Construction and design

Quality stitching: High-quality hoodies feature reinforced seams, often double-stitched at high-stress points like shoulders and cuffs, to prevent fraying and ensure longevity.

Double-layered hood: A double-layered hood provides extra warmth and helps the hood hold its shape.

Durable hardware: Look for sturdy, braided drawstrings with metal aglets and reinforced eyelets. On zip-up styles, metal YKK zippers are a sign of quality and smooth operation.

Shape retention: Well-made cotton hoodies are often pre-shrunk to minimize shrinkage and feature ribbed cuffs and waistbands to help the garment maintain its fit over time.
