What Is 220 GSM and Why Should You Care?

What if we told you that one number decides how your T-shirt feels, lasts, and performs in Indian weather?

That number is GSM — Grams per Square Meter — and it’s one of the most important factors in choosing a high quality cotton fabric. Whether your T-shirt feels thick and structured or thin and flimsy depends entirely on its GSM.

So… What is GSM?

In simple words: GSM = how thick your T-shirt fabric is.

Low GSM = light and airy, but might feel cheap or see-through.
High GSM = thick and heavy, but might feel too warm or stiff.

And here’s the myth buster: higher GSM isn’t always better.
Sure, it sounds premium, but wearing a super heavy tee in Indian heat? No thanks.

That’s why Urbanezy uses 220 GSM — right in the sweet spot between comfort, structure, and breathability. Just how a good T-shirt should feel.

Why 220 GSM Works Perfectly for Everyday Wear

It gives your T-shirt just the right amount of weight — enough to feel premium and hold its shape, but not so heavy that you feel like you're wearing a sweatshirt in summer. You get structure without the sweat.

Here’s what makes it great for daily wear:

• It doesn’t cling to your body like those super thin tees.
  

• It’s not see-through (we’ve all had that awkward moment).
  

• It holds up after multiple washes — no weird shrinking, no saggy necklines.
  

• It works in every season — breathable enough for summer, solid enough for layering in winter.
  
  

Basically, it’s the kind of tee you reach for every single day. Whether you're running errands, chilling at home, or dressing it up with a jacket — 220 GSM keeps you looking fresh without trying too hard.

Why Urbanezy Chose 220 GSM

A T-shirt might seem like the most basic piece of clothing — but for us, it’s anything but basic.

It’s the one thing almost everyone wears, every single day. So we asked ourselves — if it’s the most-worn piece in your wardrobe, shouldn’t it be made with extra care?

We looked around and saw a sea of T-shirts that fade after two washes, lose shape, or feel too thin to last. And we knew we didn’t want to be just another T-shirt brand.

That’s why we chose 220 GSM — a fabric weight that’s solid, reliable, and built to last. Our goal was simple:
Create a tee that can survive more than 40 washes and still look fresh.

No loose necklines. No faded colours. No shapeless mess after a few wears. Just a T-shirt that holds up in quality, comfort, and style.

Final Thoughts

GSM might sound like a small detail, but it makes a huge difference in how your T-shirt looks, feels, and lasts.

At Urbanezy, we don’t just make clothes — we make better basics. And choosing 220 GSM was our way of saying no to fast-fading, flimsy tees and yes to everyday essentials that actually hold up.

Because when something is a part of your daily life, it deserves more thought, more quality, and more love.
