Heavyweight tees sell because they look consistent, drape well and feel like a premium product. They usually mean a thicker single jersey, roughly 200–260 g/m², with well-twisted yarn and a tight knit. Construction matters as much as weight: a heavy tee needs a sturdier rib neckband, stable seams and a slightly roomier cut, otherwise it feels stiff. Ask for a washed sample before the full lot, because thick fabrics often shrink more visibly in length. Judge the fabric by its drape and hand feel, not only by the GSM figure.
