What's the best GSM for French Terry sweatshirts?
280-320 GSM for spring/summer lightweight hoodies. 320-340 GSM for year-round sweatshirts. Higher GSM provides more structure and warmth.
Does French Terry fabric pill?
Quality French Terry with combed cotton content pills minimally. Lower-grade or high-polyester blends may pill more. Proper finishing (mercerizing, singeing) reduces pilling significantly.
