Choose the 280gsm Core Classics hoodie if…
- You want an easy everyday layer that sits close to a normal hoodie fit.
- You prefer a small, minimal front logo to a big back print.
- You want the lower price. Browse the Core Classics hoodies, for example the Renegade Logo hoodie or the Deathcore Logo hoodie.
Choose the 450gsm Graphic Hoodie if…
- You want a heavy, structured hoodie with a boxy shape.
- You want large front and back artwork, such as The Reaper, Trouble or Get In Loser.
- You are comfortable with an oversized silhouette. Compare the garment measurements on the product page with a hoodie you already own; oversized does not automatically mean sizing down. See the Size & Fit Guide.
All the Graphic Hoodies are in the 450gsm Graphic Hoodies collection.
What gsm actually tells you
Gsm is grams per square metre of the fabric before it is made up. Higher means heavier fabric, but it does not tell you the finished garment weight, warmth or fit. For the full explanation see What Does 180gsm, 220gsm, 280gsm & 450gsm Mean?
