240 GSM T-Shirts: Why Fabric Weight Matters in Luxury Streetwear

Not all t-shirts are made equal.
And in the world of streetwear, the difference isn’t just in the design — it’s in the feel.

At Ripper, we use 240 GSM heavyweight fabric for our core tees.
But what does that actually mean? And why does it matter?

Let’s break it down.

🧵 What Does GSM Mean in T-Shirts?

GSM = Grams per Square Meter

It’s a measurement of fabric weight.
Higher GSM = thicker, denser, and usually more premium.

So when we say Ripper uses 240 GSM fabric —
we’re saying our tees are built to last, not to fade.

Ripper tees don’t feel flimsy or cheap.
They’re crafted with dense fibers that hold shape, wash after wash.

No loose collars. No saggy sleeves. No transparency.

You know that annoying flyaway look of thin tees?
240 GSM tees drape instead of cling — giving you that clean, structured silhouette.

It’s oversized — but not sloppy.
It’s intentional — not accidental.

Real ones know the moment they touch it.

Our customers often say:

“Bro, this isn’t just a tee — this feels like armor.”

That’s because 240 GSM hits differently.

You feel the weight. The value. The difference.

Let’s keep it real — it costs more.

That’s why most streetwear brands stick to 160–180 GSM.
It’s easier, faster, cheaper.

But that’s not Ripper.
We’re not here for shortcuts.
We’re here to create luxury that feels like luxury.
