Quick answer: GSM means grams per square metre, a measure of fabric weight. Prithos tees are 240 GSM premium French Terry cotton, which hangs structured and holds an oversized shape. Prithos hoodies are 450 GSM, a heavyweight fabric built for cold weather.
What GSM means
Fabric is weighed per square metre. More grams means more cotton in the same area, which generally means a denser, heavier, more structured fabric. Many everyday tees are lighter; 240 GSM is considered heavyweight for a t-shirt.

How to choose
Pick the tee if you want something structured you can wear daily, including over a thin shirt. Pick the hoodie if you want warmth and weight. Many people begin with a tee and add a hoodie later.
Why weight matters to us
We think fabric is the product, not an afterthought. A heavier fabric keeps its shape and feels better after a hundred wears. That’s why every Prithos piece is made in limited batches rather than at volume.
