Selecting loungewear fabric 280 to 400 gsm
280 to 400 GSM is a planning band for loungewear. It is not a score, and it is not evidence that a FabStitch fabric publishes that exact number.
How to use the band
Heavier apparel and lighter work layers. Heat retention rises with the mass.
For loungewear, the brief needs soft hand. A useful hand note is soft.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Jersey, french terry and soft cellulosics dominate.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
