When you pick up a T-shirt, you probably check the color, size, or fit. But there’s one detail that tells you everything about how that tee will feel, last, and wear over time — GSM.
What is GSM? GSM stands for grams per square meter. It measures the weight of the fabric. The higher the GSM, the denser and heavier the fabric — and often, the higher the quality.
-
160–180 GSM: Lightweight, thin, often used in fast fashion or basic promotional tees.
-
200–220 GSM: Medium weight, great for everyday use with structure and comfort.
-
250–260 GSM and above: Heavyweight, premium feel, long-lasting and ideal for minimal style lovers.
Why Does GSM Matter for You?
Durability: Higher GSM = longer-lasting fabric. It resists thinning and tearing even after many washes.
Shape retention: Thick fabrics hold their shape better. No saggy collars or loose hems.
Comfort & Structure: A heavier tee drapes better on the body. It feels substantial and looks polished.
Seasonal Versatility: Higher GSM tees work all year round, especially in cooler months. Layer it up or wear it solo.
What We Use at Aviazzo We don't compromise. Most of our tees are crafted with 220 GSM and 260 GSM cotton, giving you that rich feel you can wear everywhere — from airport terminals to dinner parties to everyday wear.
It's not just about fabric. It's about how you feel in it. GSM ensures that your tee isn’t just another piece in your wardrobe — it’s a staple that works hard, looks sharp, and travels well.
Before you grab your next tee, make sure to check the GSM. It’s the difference between a tee that fades in a month — and one that becomes your go-to for years so you carry forward your style into the future.
In Aviazzo we believe that every thread counts.
180 GSM
180 GSM – Lightweight. Premium. Perfect for Daily Essentials.
Why is it unique ?
• Combed Cotton only – Unlike cheaper 180 GSM T-shirts in the market made with carded or recycled yarn, we use 100% combed cotton, ensuring a softer, smoother surface with zero pilling.
• Printing Seamlessly: DTG, screen print and heat transfer work seamlessly with no issues whatsoever for a prolonged period of time.
• Modern silhouette – Tailored cuts that don’t look flimsy — we give structure to 180 GSM like most brands give to 200+ GSM.
• No see-through – Most 180 GSM tees suffer from transparency issues but ours absolutely do not.
220 GSM

260 GSM
260 GSM – Heavyweight French Terry for Oversized Streetwear Kings and Queens.
What makes it unbeatable:

• Crafted for layering – Works as a standalone tee or layered under/over jackets and hoodies.
