Discover how different T-shirt fabric weights affect comfort, durability, and sustainability—and why Good Quality Human’s ethically made tees set the standard for quality and feel.
At Good Quality Human, we believe that what you wear should not only look good but feel good—for you and for the planet. Comfort, longevity, and sustainability all begin with one key detail that most people overlook: the weight of your T-shirt fabric.
Whether you love a lightweight, breezy tee or a premium heavyweight one, understanding the differences helps explain why Good Quality Human tees are unmatched in comfort and conscience.
Fabric weight is measured in grams per square meter (GSM) or ounces per yard (oz/yd²). Simply put, it tells you how thick and dense the cotton is.
Lightweight (3.5–4.5 oz)
Soft, breathable, and easy to layer—perfect for warm days or a relaxed vintage feel. These tees move with you and age beautifully.
Midweight (4.5–6 oz)
The best of both worlds: breathable yet durable. Midweight tees hold their shape, resist shrinkage, and feel soft after every wash.
Heavyweight (6–8 oz)
Structured, premium, and made to last. Heavyweight cotton offers a thicker feel, more body, and a timeless drape that gets better with age.
Being sustainable means more than using organic cotton—it means creating clothing that lasts.
Our tees are made from high-quality, responsibly sourced cotton, crafted in small batches with local Los Angeles partners who share our commitment to fair labor and reduced waste. By focusing on durability and timeless design, we help you buy less and wear longer—keeping more garments out of landfills.
Premium Cotton Blend: Soft, breathable, and naturally biodegradable.
Perfect Weight for Every Season: Lightweight for movement, heavyweight for structure—each designed with comfort in mind at 6oz.
Ethically Designed in LA: We work with local artisans to reduce our carbon footprint and support our community.
Built to Last: Pre-shrunk, color-fast, and designed to keep their shape through years of wear.
When you put on a Good Quality Human tee, you’re wearing more than a shirt—you’re wearing a movement built on kindness, quality, and conscious living.
