The 450 GSM French terry.
Brushed inside, matte outside, and heavy enough that the hood keeps its shape when you pull it down. Built as a single garment — not a tee with a hood attached.

Honest words from people who have worn it. Verified buyers are marked.
Verified buyer
The first tee I have owned that does not go transparent in Banaras summer. Thick, but it breathes. Bought two more.
/BANARAS Oversized Hoodie
Ram · Varanasi
Verified buyer
Ordered on a Monday, delivered Wednesday, paid the delivery person in cash. Zero friction. Navy is deeper than the photos.
Verified buyer
Ivory without being see-through. The straight cut layers under the hoodie with no bunching at the waist.
Verified buyer
Excellent fabric and shoulder line. I sized up for a looser fit; the medium was already boxy enough. Take your normal size.
Verified buyer
The oversized hoodie is the one I reach for on flights. Long body, deep hood, and the cuffs still grip.
Verified buyer
Bought the medium, wore it 40 days straight in rotation. No twisting at the hem, no collar curl. That is what I paid for.
Verified buyer
Trio pack is the sensible way in. Three tees, one box, and the cut is identical across all three. Saved on shipping too.
Verified buyer
I wear ivory for work in summer. This one holds up in afternoon heat without going limp or translucent.
Verified buyer
Beautiful weight. Only note: the navy picks up lint easily, keep a roller handy.
Verified buyer
Ordered XXL for layering — it was out of stock in stone, so I went navy. Restocked fast when I checked again.
Verified buyer
The garment-dyed grey has become my default. Feels honest, no shine, no print shouting at anyone.
Why the weight
THE WEIGHT. THE HAND FEEL. THE CONSTRUCTION.
Most everyday tees sit between 150 and 180 GSM. That is why they go thin at the collar and start reading the shape of your body after a month. We start at 240 GSM and go up to 450 GSM, which changes the equation entirely: the garment holds a silhouette on its own.
- 240 GSM combed cotton
- Long-staple yarn, bio-washed, ring-spun at high twist. Dense but breathable — the reason the shoulder stays square.
- 450 GSM French terry
- Loop-back terry brushed on the inside face. Absorbs light rather than shine, so navy reads navy, not sheen.
- Construction that carries load
- Shoulder-to-shoulder tape, twin-needle hems, 2x2 ribbing at cuffs and collar. Pre-shrunk before cutting.

Is the cloth really heavyweight?
Yes. Our tees are 240 GSM combed cotton and our hoodies are 450 GSM French terry — far denser than the 150 to 180 GSM of a typical everyday tee.
