Why 200 GSM Cotton T-Shirts Are the Perfect Balance

When choosing a T-shirt, one question matters more than many people realize: How thick should the fabric be?

A lightweight T-shirt can feel cool, but may lack the structure and coverage you want. A very heavy T-shirt can feel substantial, but may become less comfortable in warm weather.

That is where 200 GSM cotton comes in.

GSM means grams per square metre and indicates the weight of the fabric. A 200 GSM jersey is generally considered a midweight fabric, offering a useful balance between lightweight comfort and heavier fabric structure. For example, House of Blanks specifically categorizes its 200 GSM jersey as a "midweight" T-shirt fabric.

“200 GSM keeps you warm in winter” to “200 GSM works well as a layering piece in cooler weather.” A T-shirt's warmth isn't determined by GSM alone, and heavier fabrics can provide additional warmth while potentially reducing breathability.
