What Is a 400 GSM Hoodie?
GSM means grams per square meter and describes fabric weight. A 400 GSM hoodie uses a substantially heavier fabric than typical lightweight or midweight sweatshirts, making it suitable for heavyweight streetwear, casualwear and Autumn/Winter collections.
Fabric weight is only one part of garment quality. Fiber composition, knitting structure, finishing, fit and garment construction also affect the final hand feel, structure and durability.
April Su supports both stock heavyweight hoodies and custom OEM/ODM hoodie development.
400 GSM Hoodies Wholesale: Stock & Custom Options
Brands can choose between stock garments for lower-volume projects and full custom development.
Stock Heavyweight Hoodies – MOQ 50 pcs
Selected heavyweight hoodies are available from stock with an MOQ of 50 pieces, and orders can mix colors and sizes, subject to current inventory.
Stock hoodies are suitable for brands that want to test a collection, use multiple colors or add printing, embroidery and private label branding without developing a new garment from the beginning.
Available colors, sizes and fabric specifications should be confirmed before ordering.
Custom 400 GSM Hoodies – From 100 pcs per Color
For brands requiring their own fit, measurements, fabric, Pantone color or construction, custom OEM/ODM development starts from 100 pieces per style/color, subject to fabric and customization requirements.
Custom options can include:
- Fabric and GSM selection
- Custom fit and measurements
- Pantone colors
- Hood and pocket construction
- Printing and embroidery
- Main labels, care labels and packaging
400 GSM Cotton Hoodie Fabric Options
Heavyweight hoodies can be developed in 100% cotton or cotton-blend fabrics, depending on the required hand feel, structure, dimensional stability and target price.
A 400 GSM specification describes fabric weight rather than fiber composition, so the exact material and construction should be confirmed for each stock or custom style.
Why Choose 400 GSM Heavyweight Hoodies?
The heavier fabric can provide greater structure and a more substantial hand feel than lighter sweatshirt fabrics.
400 GSM hoodies are commonly developed for:
- Heavyweight streetwear
- Oversized hoodie collections
- Autumn/Winter apparel
- Private label and branded merchandise
Final garment performance also depends on the fabric construction, pattern, finishing and washing process.
Printing, Embroidery & Private Label Options
Stock and custom hoodies can support different decoration and branding methods depending on the garment and artwork.
Options include screen printing, DTG, heat transfer, embroidery, puff printing, custom labels, hangtags and packaging.
For stock hoodies, branding is applied to an existing garment. For custom OEM/ODM orders, the garment itself can be developed together with the branding.
MOQ, Sampling & Production
Stock heavyweight hoodies: from 50 pcs, with mixed colors and sizes subject to inventory.
Custom OEM/ODM hoodies: from 100 pcs per style/color, subject to fabric and construction requirements.
Custom sampling generally takes 7–15 days, while bulk production typically takes approximately 20–35 days after sample and material approval. Complex fabrics, washes or decoration processes may require additional time.
