Heavy sweatshirts sell for four months. A 240GSM lightweight crew neck sweatshirt sells through spring, early summer evenings and early autumn — and it layers under jackets in winter. For brands chasing 12-month revenue instead of one cold season, this is the weight that fills the calendar.

FAQ
Q: Is 240GSM too thin for a sweatshirt?
A: No. It is a recognised spring/autumn weight. It is noticeably lighter than 320GSM but still clearly a sweatshirt rather than a tee.
Q: Can I run this alongside a heavier sweatshirt in the same order?
A: Yes. Many brands order a lightweight and a heavyweight style together; we produce both on one purchase order with consistent labels.
Q: What is the difference between this and your 240gsm tech fleece sweatshirt?
A: Tech fleece is a synthetic-blend performance fabric with a different surface and drape; this style is a lightweight cotton knit for casual and retail ranges.
