RIPPER's Commitment to Quality: Our Fabric Sourcing Explained

Fabric quality is often the least visible part of a t-shirt purchase decision — and the most important. Here is exactly how RIPPER approaches fabric sourcing and why it drives everything else about the brand.

Starting With the Right GSM for Each Category

Rather than using one fabric weight across every product, RIPPER selects GSM specifically for each garment's purpose — 190 GSM cotton-Lycra for stretch-inclusive baby tees, 220–240 GSM 100% cotton for structured oversized tees, and 400 GSM heavyweight fleece for the flagship hoodie.

Why Composition Matters as Much as Weight

100% cotton is prioritized for oversized and boxy silhouettes where structure and breathability matter most, while cotton-Lycra blends are reserved for fitted, stretch-inclusive pieces like baby tees — fabric composition is matched deliberately to garment purpose.

Consistency Across Every Product Page

Every single RIPPER listing states exact fabric composition and GSM weight — no vague "premium fabric" language without specifics, because we believe buyers deserve to know precisely what they are purchasing.

How This Shows Up in the Final Product

Pieces like RIPPER 03 Waffle Club Tee demonstrate this fabric-first approach directly — premium 240 GSM waffle-knit cotton chosen specifically for its tactile, structured drape. Shop RIPPER 03 here.

Why This Matters for You

Understanding fabric sourcing means you are never guessing what you are buying — every RIPPER product page gives you the information needed to make a genuinely informed purchase.
