# What does 380 GSM mean in a hoodie?

GSM means grams per square metre. A 380 GSM fabric weighs 380 grams for each square metre of material. It does not mean the finished hoodie weighs 380 grams.

## Fabric weight and the feel of a hoodie

GSM is one part of the description. Fibre blend, fabric construction, finish and garment cut also affect how a hoodie feels. Two fabrics with the same GSM can feel different.

A higher GSM alone does not establish softness, breathability or quality. Look at the fabric and the finished garment together.

## SAEE’s 380 GSM fleece

The Discipline hoodie uses premium heavyweight fleece with a light-feeling oversized fit. It is designed and stitched for athletes, with dropped shoulders, a drawstring hood and a kangaroo pocket.

Black carries white embroidery; white carries black embroidery. The small chest-side icon is embroidered. The inside Limited Edition Collection label carries an individual serial number, and the drawstring tips carry SAEE branding.

## Choose the cut as well as the fabric

Oversized describes the cut. Compare chest width, body length and sleeve length against a hoodie you already enjoy wearing. Use the measurements for the exact model before choosing a size.

## Questions worth asking

- What is the fabric weight and fibre blend?
- Is the fit oversized by design?
- Are garment measurements available?
- Is the chest mark printed or embroidered?
- What does the garment’s care label require?
