01 — In short
What is a ringer T-shirt?
A ringer tee has a contrast-colour rib collar and sleeve bands, so the edges ring the shirt. It started in the 1950s and 60s and is a staple of retro and band merch.

03 — Choosing the weight
GSM and ounces, side by side.
GSM means grams per square metre of fabric. US buyers often think in ounces per square yard, so both are shown.
| Weight | In ounces | How it feels and what it suits |
|---|---|---|
| 160–180 GSM | 4.7–5.3 oz | Light. Promo tees and summer basics with a soft drape. |
| 200–220 GSM | 5.9–6.5 oz | Mid to heavy. Everyday premium basics. |
| 240–260 GSM | 7.1–7.7 oz | Heavy. Streetwear essentials that hold their shape. |
| 280–300 GSM and up | 8.3–8.8 oz and up | Extra heavy. Boxy and oversized cuts. |
Weight is only part of quality. The yarn and how tightly the fabric is knitted matter just as much.
