Mike did confirm that 26oz would be back, right? Im sitting on a $250 credit and based on what everyone has said, will continue to hold onto it until these are rereleased.

Hopefully in time to still appreciate them during the colder months...

That’s definitely not true. The GSM to oz conversion depends on the size of the fabric. So if the GSM is high but the fabric used to make that measurement is huge the OZ will be small, but if the fabric is a small piece than the OZ will be high or something like that. I’m pretty sure the thousand pound hoodie is around 28oz.

It doesn't depend on the size of the fabric, because it's a weight per unit. It doesn't matter if you compare a 10x10cm piece of fabric to a 50x50 yard piece of fabric... the weight per unit will be the same.

575 GSM is approximately 17 oz per square yard.

I had to think back to my high school chemistry unit conversion..

(575 grams / 1M^2) * (1 oz / 28.3495 grams) * (1 M^2 / 1.19599 yd^2) = 16.95879 oz/yd^2

basically, you just divide the grams by 33.90572. I usually just use this converter (https://www.easycalculation.com/unit-conversion/fabric-weight-converter.php), but I did it by hand to see if i missed something.

Are they adding fleece to the french terry or something?

During the black friday sale he said we'd get them again at some point.

Somewhat related but somewhat not:

I REALLY want a restock of the Trenton Straight Fit Chinos. I missed it the first time around. Would wear every day.

Also, do the Aime Leon Dore core chinos fit TTS? Did anyone cop? Im interested

Hopefully you can fit a small and this is the CW you’re looking for https://www.nordstromrack.com/s/john-elliott-trenton-straight-fit-trousers/n3387120

If you’re referring to just the density measurements, you’re correct. In GSM (grams per square meter) or oz/yd2 (ounces per square yard) the size does not matter.

However, I think the confusion between the original poster, @nsubrmnn, and you is coming from people switching between two units of measurements.

In textiles, there’s the density measurement (GSM and oz/yd2) and linear measurement. When converting to linear ounces, the width of the fabric does matter. You’re calculating the weight of one linear yard of fabric. So for example, when you’re talking about the LA Sweats, the 26 ounce fleece terry measurement is a linear measurement.

To arrive at that measurement you’d take the oz/yd2 (density measurement) x fabric width/36= linear weight.

So what is 575 GSM then? Lol

It depends on the width (which comes from the cylinder it was knitted on and how it was processed in finishing). French/fleece terry generally comes in 58-60 width. There are wider goods as well, which are 64-66. Not knowing what machine it’s knitted on and how it’s finished, I can’t tell you exactly. But assuming it’s 58-60 inches it would be:

58”: 27.3 ounces (linear)
60”: 28.25 ounces (linear)

Thank god Mr. worldwide aka pit bull follows this thread and stepped in to reiterate my initial claims.

Just curious on what makes you wanting these chinos?

Ah, this "linear yard" concept is what went over my head... the fact that the unit of measure isn't a based on a true square yard (with length and width each being one yard). Thanks for explaining this. I always assumed that 26 oz weight was true oz per square yard.

Someone with the 26 oz sweats needs to cut a small chunk out and weigh it on their gram scale so we can do a proper comparison.
