A production spec is the smallest set of facts that lets a second person find the same cloth. On FabStitch that set is whatever the fabric page publishes: composition, construction, weight, and sometimes width or hand. Missing fields stay missing.

Why fabric specifications changes the brief
Production fails when the spec is a mood. Teams cannot cut, cost or repeat a mood. They can discuss a cotton twill at a stated GSM.
Copy specs from the fabric page into your internal sheet. Link the page. Add garment and quantity yourself. Use guides for GSM and weave if the team does not share those words yet.
Using fabric specifications on a real cloth
Freeze the spec before you talk about colour stories or trim. Colour on an unstable spec will be reworked.
Do not fill blanks with typical industry numbers. A typical cotton is not this cotton.
What to avoid with fabric specifications

Freeze the spec before you talk about colour stories or trim. Colour on an unstable spec will be reworked.
Keep the decision tied to fabric specifications, not to a swapped synonym.
Use only specs published on the fabric page.
Inquire with quantity and end use when a cloth matches.
