The Anatomy of 220 GSM Cotton

Why fabric weight, yarn twist, and knitting density matter more than brand logos.

Most everyday t-shirts weigh between 140 and 180 grams per square metre. They feel featherlight on the rack, but lose their structure after half a dozen washes.

When we developed our daily crewneck, we committed to 220 GSM long-staple combed cotton. The result is a substantial fabric that drapes cleanly away from the torso, conceals undershirt lines, and resists collar stretching through years of wear.

It is not heavy for the sake of heaviness. The combed yarns allow air circulation, keeping the garment comfortable in moderate heat while retaining sharp lines.
