Selecting coats fabric over 400 gsm
over 400 GSM is a planning band for coats. It is not a score, and it is not evidence that a FabStitch fabric publishes that exact number.
How to use the band
Dense cloth for outer or work layers. It is not a classic shirt weight.
For coats, the brief needs weight compatible with wear time. A useful hand note is stable structure.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Meltons, dense wools, technical outerwear constructions and selected double-face cloths lead.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
