Buying a hoodie is easy. Buying the right hoodie takes a little attention. If you want a hoodie that looks good after months and reads premium in person, focus on three things: fabric, fit, and finish.
Fabric: why GSM and yarn matter
GSM (grams per square meter): 240 GSM feels light; 320 GSM is substantial and holds shape. For a premium everyday hoodie, aim for 320 GSM brushed fleece.
Yarn quality: long-staple cotton or a cotton-poly blend with ring-spun yarn resists pilling and feels denser.
Pre-wash & finishing: pre-washed fleece reduces shrinkage and softens the nap.
Fit: measured vs lazy oversized
Drop-shoulder / oversized is trendy — but premium design means measured oversize: proportions that sit correctly at the sleeve, hem and hood.
Try on samples: check sleeve length, cuff fit, and body length. A premium hoodie should read relaxed, not sloppy.
Finish: details that make the piece
Stitching: reinforced seams, double-needle hems.
Hardware: YKK zippers and matte hardware feel expensive.
Branding: micro embroidery or woven tags read refined.
Interior: clean neck tape, soft drawcord ends, comfortable hood lining.
“From the moment I unwrapped my first order, the attention to detail was unmistakable. The packaging itself was a testament to the brand's commitment to luxury. But it wasn't just about the aesthetics; it was a promise of what awaited inside.”
Practical checklist before you buy
What is the GSM? (320 GSM preferred)
Are seams reinforced?
Is the hood heavy and double-layered?
What do reviews say about shrinkage and pilling?
Where to buy in Dhaka and online
Local small brands often offer better sample checks and honest returns. Look for brands that detail fabric weight and offer real photos (macro shots). If buying from BLANKSTATE, each hoodie lists the GSM, trim specs, and returns policy.
