The best hoodies in Australia, explained
The best hoodie in Australia is built in Melbourne.

If you’re comparing hoodies, here’s exactly what to look for — and why the Melbourne Patriot clears every bar. $99. Ships from Melbourne.

The weight standard premium hoodies are judged by.

HOW TO BUY A HOODIE
YOU’LL KEEP.
Weight first
Anything under 350 GSM feels like a sweatshirt within a year. 420 GSM holds its shape wash after wash.
100% cotton beats blends
Poly blends pill and trap heat. French Terry cotton breathes while staying warm.
Check the construction
A relaxed, structured cut keeps its silhouette — baggy generic fits go shapeless fast.
Know who made it
Locally designed pieces carry the detail and attitude mass-produced hoodies never will.
