High GSM Cotton T-Shirts: The Perfect Blend of Comfort and Strength
When it comes to everyday comfort a well-made cotton T-shirt can’t be beaten. But not all cotton T-shirts are created equal. One of the most important and often overlooked factor in a great tee is GSM, or grams per square meter. This simple measure tells you how dense and durable the fabric is.
At StartNow, all our T-shirts are made with high GSM cotton — and here’s why that matters.
1. Stronger Fabric equals Lasting Longer
- Has its shape intact even after many washes.
- Resists wear and tear.
- Doesn’t stretch out or fade quickly.
So, you’re not just buying a T-shirt. You’re investing in a piece that’s built will last longer.
2. Comfortable All-Day Wear
The general opinion is that thicker fabric means less comfort. But don’t forget with pure cotton that’s not the case. High GSM cotton is:
- Soft against the skin.
- Breathable, even in warmer weather.
- Naturally moisture-absorbent.
It gives you the snug feel of quality without making you sweat.
3. Perfect for Layering or Wearing Solo
Because of its structure, a high GSM T-shirt looks more polished on its own as there is no chance for see-through moments, no limp collars. It can easily be worn solo or layered under a shirt/jacket for a smart casual look.
4. Better Fit and Feel
Cotton with higher GSM often drapes better on the body. It doesn’t cling awkwardly or feel flimsy. Whether you're working from home or heading out or heading to gym for a heavy work out, it gives you a clean silhouette with everyday flexibility.
5. Eco-Friendly Choice
Since high GSM cotton T-shirts last longer, they reduce the need for frequent replacements. Â This means less waste and a more sustainable wardrobe, something we care about at StartNow.
Last But Not The Least.
If you’re looking for a T-shirt that offers comfort, durability, and value — look for 100% cotton with a higher GSM. At StartNow, we combine quality fabric with timeless design so you can wear it your way, every day.
No excuses. No doubts. Just StartNow.
