Why heavyweight cotton changes the fit

Fabric weight changes how a garment holds its shape. Karvan’s heavyweight tees use substantial Turkish cotton, while the Silk Road hoodie uses dense organic Turkish fleece.

The extra structure supports a clean drop shoulder and a boxier streetwear silhouette without relying on excessive decoration. Reinforced seams, stable collars and considered ribbing help the shape remain intentional through regular wear.

Choose your usual size for the designed fit, then use the product size guide whenever exact chest, length or shoulder measurements are available.
