Sweatshirt & Hoodie Fleece Constructions
Six distinct fleece and terry builds for Pakistan OEM production — each with different weight range, market position and decoration compatibility.

300–400 GSM
HAND FEEL
Smooth face, looped interior — warmth without bulk
French terry is the definitive construction for premium hoodies and crewneck sweatshirts. The smooth exterior face delivers sharp print registration and a refined retail appearance, while the looped cotton interior provides insulation and a plush hand-feel. At 340–380 GSM — the industry sweet-spot — it drapes cleanly, holds shape through laundering and accepts all major decoration methods. Enzyme-washed and garment-dyed finishes are in high demand for USA premium streetwear programmes.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
100% combed cotton or 80/20 cotton-polyester. GSM 300–400. Enzyme wash and garment dye finishes available. Anti-shrink / compacted finish standard. GOTS certified cotton option.

Choosing GSM for Your Fleece Programme
