255 and 430.
The Everything Tee is 100% cotton at 255 gsm (7.5 oz). The Everything Pant is 56.44% cotton / 43.56% polyester at 430 gsm (12.7 oz). Those are two different fabrics at two different weights, and this page is what each one means for how it feels, how it wears, and how it washes.

255 gsm is midweight-to-heavy for a tee. Most everyday tees run 150–200 gsm; a 255 gsm cotton is denser, more opaque, and holds a boxy shape instead of collapsing against the body. The supplier's thickness field says “Thin,” and the two fields disagree — so the number is published and the adjective is not, until the sample is in hand.
Over time, 100% cotton at this weight softens and keeps its shape. It is not stated as preshrunk, and length is the dimension with the least margin on this cut, so five-wash shrinkage is being measured on the sample before any figure is published here.
What it is not: a workout fabric. Cotton holds sweat. This is the tee for the walk, the drive, the trailhead, and the after — the day around the effort.
The pant: 430 gsm, 56.44% cotton / 43.56% polyester.

430 gsm is heavyweight fleece. It hangs rather than clings, holds its shape through the leg, and is warm — a spring-and-autumn fabric by the supplier's own season field, not a summer one. The weight is why the leg falls straight and why the stack at the shoe reads as intentional instead of limp.
The polyester share (43.56%) is the reason the pant should move less in the wash than the tee. A cotton-polyester blend at this weight holds its dimensions better than pure cotton; expect the tee to shrink more than the pant, and expect the two to be measured separately across five washes before either number is published.
Together with the tee, the set is not all-cotton. It is a 100% cotton top over a cotton-polyester bottom, and the site says so everywhere the set is described, because fiber content is a regulated claim and not a style choice.
Why heavy cotton.
Heavy cotton was chosen over a technical blend because these garments are for everything around the effort, not the hour of it. At 255 and 430 gsm the fabric feels like clothing, takes a print cleanly, and lasts through years of ordinary days. Technical fabrics do one thing well and look like it everywhere else.
Weight alone is not the argument. Heavier does not mean better, and the market has moved: 220 gsm sells as “heavyweight” at one brand and 275 gsm at $32 at another. The argument is the shape the two fabrics make together — a cropped boxy top that holds its box, a long straight leg that holds its line — and the fact that every number behind it is on this site.
Care is identical for both: machine wash 30°c, gentle, do not bleach, tumble dry low, iron low — avoid the print, do not dry clean. One card covers the set.
Asked a lot.
What does gsm mean?
Grams per square meter — the weight of the fabric. A square meter of the Everything Tee's cotton weighs 255 g (7.5 oz per square yard); a square meter of the Everything Pant's fleece weighs 430 g (12.7 oz). Higher gsm is heavier and, for the same fiber, denser and more opaque.
Is 255 gsm a heavyweight tee?
It is midweight-to-heavy by the numbers — most everyday tees run 150–200 gsm — and the supplier's own thickness field says "Thin," which is why the site publishes the number and not an adjective. The sample is in production; how it reads in hand publishes when it's held.
Is 430 gsm heavy for sweatpants?
Yes. 430 gsm (12.7 oz) is heavyweight fleece: it hangs, holds its shape, and is warm. The supplier's thickness field says "Thick." It is 56.44% cotton / 43.56% polyester; the polyester share is why it should hold its dimensions through the wash better than the 100% cotton tee.
Why cotton instead of a technical fabric?
Because these are the clothes for around the effort, not the hour of it. Cotton at these weights feels like a real garment, takes a print well, and lasts. It is not the right fabric for a hard workout — 255 gsm cotton holds sweat — and the site says so rather than pretending otherwise.
