Fit Types Explained
Hoodies come in multiple fit profiles that significantly affect how they wear. The spreadsheet categorizes each item by fit type: Slim hugs the body, Regular provides standard room, Oversized offers extra fabric, and Boxy has a wide, cropped proportion.
| Fit Type | Chest Room | Length | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slim | Tight +2-4cm | Standard | Layering |

| Oversized | Loose +10-15cm | Standard/Long | Streetwear |
| Boxy | Wide +12-18cm | Cropped | Fashion |
Seasonal Considerations
Hoodie weight measured in GSM (grams per square meter) determines seasonal suitability. Lightweight options (200-280 GSM) work for spring and fall. Mid-weight (300-400 GSM) suits most of the year. Heavyweight (400+ GSM) provides winter warmth. The spreadsheet lists GSM for most items.
QC Checklist for Hoodies
Key QC points for hoodies include drawstring quality, hood construction symmetry, pocket alignment, and cuff elasticity. Check that the fabric weight matches the listing and that the interior fleece (if applicable) is evenly distributed without thin spots.
