Selecting loungewear fabric over 400 gsm
over 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
Dense cloth for outer or work layers. It is not a classic shirt weight.
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.
