A 500 GSM hoodie is built for people who want real fabric weight: a dense hand, a structured drape and the feel of a substantial outer layer. KHAIR currently offers two 500 GSM washed-black options in the UK, each cut with a relaxed oversized silhouette.
What does 500 GSM mean?
GSM is the weight of one square metre of fabric. At 500 GSM, cotton fleece feels considerably denser than standard sweatshirt fabric. The extra weight creates a cleaner, more architectural silhouette, but it also makes fit and construction especially important. Good ribbing, a structured hood and balanced proportions stop the garment from feeling shapeless.

Choose the pullover when you want a minimal heavyweight staple. Its washed-black finish, ribbed trims and relaxed form keep the focus on fabric and silhouette.
Los Angeles Patchwork Zip Up
Choose the zip-up when you prefer flexible layering and graphic detail. It combines the same 500 GSM cotton-fleece weight with a full zip, structured hood and Los Angeles-inspired patchwork.
How should a 500 GSM hoodie fit?
Heavy fabric needs room to drape. Both styles are designed with dropped shoulders and an oversized streetwear shape, so you usually do not need to size up to achieve the intended look. Compare the product measurements with your favourite hoodie in the KHAIR hoodie size guide.
Care and delivery
Wash heavyweight garments inside out on a cool cycle and air dry to preserve the fabric, finish and artwork. Both styles qualify for free UK delivery with no minimum spend. See the delivery and 30-day returns guide for complete terms.
500 GSM hoodie questions
Is a 500 GSM hoodie warm?
Yes. The dense cotton fleece provides a substantial layer suited to cooler weather and people who prefer a heavier garment.
Will a 500 GSM hoodie hold its shape?
Fabric weight helps create structure, while pre-shrinking and heavyweight ribbed trims are used to support shape retention. Correct washing and air drying remain important.
Are both KHAIR 500 GSM styles oversized?
Yes. Both use relaxed proportions and dropped shoulders. Use the garment chart to select how loose you want the finished silhouette to look.
