Not all T-shirts and hoodies are created equal. The difference between a fast-fashion tee and a premium oversized T-shirt lies in the fabric quality, GSM weight, and stitching. If you want your streetwear to last, it’s time to understand what makes premium apparel worth it.

  • What is GSM? Understanding fabric weight and why 280 GSM & 300 GSM cotton lasts longer.
  • Why Terry Blend & Acid Wash Matter: The impact of fabric treatment on comfort & durability.
  • The Difference in Fit: How oversized, boxy, and relaxed fits influence streetwear aesthetics.
  • Investing in Quality: Why choosing premium streetwear over mass-produced fast fashion is better for your style and budget.
