| Mass / construction | Mass is the defining spec. Confirm it. Do not guess. |
| Care | Heavy cloths can still have finishes that need gentle care. |
| Sample | Sew a sample seam. Check bulk, needle marks, and drape. |
| Common miss | Calling any dark cloth heavy without a mass number. |
Does every heavy fabric listing mean the same cloth?
No. Heavy fabric sits in a higher mass band for its use. Higher GSM usually means more mass per square metre. Read the published mass with the end use. Heavy shirting is still lighter than coating.
Can you skip sampling heavy fabric?
Sew a sample seam. Check bulk, needle marks, and drape.
What should stay on the brief besides the keyword heavy fabric?
