The 500gsm French Terry Zip Hoodie for Streetwear sets a new standard for heavyweight loungewear, with its ultra-dense fabric delivering exceptional warmth and structure. The French terry construction features looped interior fibers (0.8mm length) that trap air for insulation, paired with a smooth exterior (18-count yarn) for a premium hand feel. The 500 GSM weight—56% heavier than standard 320 GSM hoodies—provides a substantial drape that retains shape without sagging, making it a statement piece in streetwear collections.
Heavy-duty zipper: YKK Vislon zipper (size 8) with a leather pull tab (genuine cowhide, 1.5x3 inches) featuring debossed branding. The zipper undergoes 1,000+ cycle testing, operating smoothly with minimal friction, and includes a zipper garage at the neck to prevent chin irritation.
Kangaroo pocket: 12x8 inches with reinforced stitching (double-needle with bartacks at corners) capable of holding large smartphones (up to 7 inches) and daily essentials without sagging. The pocket lining (200 GSM cotton) features a hidden 4x4-inch mesh pouch for small items like earbuds.
Ribbed trims: 1x1 ribbed cuffs (3-inch width) and hem with 5% spandex blend maintain shape through 50+ washes, with a recovery rate of 95% after stretching. The ribbing's 2x2 knit structure prevents cold air infiltration, with a tightness factor of 0.6 to balance flexibility and insulation.
Insulation rating: 0.3 clo (per ASTM F1868), suitable for temperatures 35–60°F—30% warmer than 320 GSM alternatives. This equates to maintaining a 70°F microclimate next to skin in 50°F ambient temperatures, tested using a thermal manikin.
Breathability: Despite its weight, the fabric allows 1.2 L/min air flow (ASTM D737), preventing overheating during moderate activity (e.g., walking, errands). The terry loops create air channels that facilitate heat escape, balancing insulation with ventilation.
Moisture management: Absorbs 6% of its weight in moisture (equivalent to 200ml for a size M hoodie) before feeling damp, ideal for transitioning between indoor and outdoor environments. The cotton fibers wick moisture to the surface for evaporation, reducing drying time by 15% compared to fleece.
Layering core: Wear over a graphic tee (240 GSM cotton) with distressed denim (32-inch inseam, 12-ounce weight) for a classic street look, with the hoodie's 28-inch length (size M) hitting at the hip for balanced proportions. The dropped shoulder (18-inch width in size M) creates a boxy silhouette aligned with 2025 streetwear trends.
Monochrome: Opt for head-to-toe neutral tones (black, gray, navy) to highlight the hoodie's texture, paired with chunky boots (4-inch sole) for urban edge. The fabric's natural drape (0.75 coefficient) creates clean lines without bulk, enhancing the monochrome aesthetic.
Athleisure: Match jogger pants (320 GSM fleece) with ribbed cuffs for ultimate comfort, with the zip feature allowing temperature regulation during transitions—fully zipped for outdoor warmth, unzipped for indoor ventilation. The hood's 3-panel construction (with adjustable drawcord) fits over headphones without distortion.
Fabric retention: Retains 95% of its shape after 50 washes, with minimal pilling (≤2 pills per square inch) tested using ASTM D3512 standards (100 cycles with a 500g weight). The looped terry fibers resist abrasion, outperforming flat-knit fabrics by 30% in wear tests.
Care instructions: Machine wash cold (30°C) on gentle cycle using mild detergent to preserve fiber integrity. Air dry flat on a rack to prevent stretching—hanging can elongate the hem by 1–2 inches. Tumble drying on low (60°C) is possible but reduces loft by 15% over 10 cycles. Avoid fabric softeners, as they coat fibers and reduce breathability by 25%, and bleach, which degrades cotton strength.
