Hoodies/Sweaters FAQ
What fabric weight is considered good for hoodies?
In 2026, most buyers look for hoodies between 400g and 500g per square meter for a substantial feel. French terry pieces are usually lighter, around 300g to 380g, which is acceptable for layering.
Will hoodies shrink after washing?
Some cotton blends may shrink slightly. If the listing mentions pre-shrunk fabric, shrinkage is usually minimal. To be safe, wash cold and air dry or tumble on low.
