How do I find the right fabric weight for a premium hoodie?

[Rosie Richardson]

I’m working on a premium hoodie and trying to figure out what fabric weight would give it the right feel and structure. Is a higher GSM always better for a premium product, or does it depend more on the fabric blend, construction, and intended use? The Apparel Partner is one manufacturer I’m researching, and I’d like to know how others decide on hoodie weight before requesting samples. What GSM range would you recommend for a premium hoodie?
