Selecting outerwear fabric 200 to 280 gsm
200 to 280 GSM is a planning band for outerwear. It is not a score, and it is not evidence that a FabStitch fabric publishes that exact number.
How to use the band
Mid-weight territory for trousers, denser shirtings and some light jackets.
For outerwear, the brief needs durable face. A useful hand note is stable.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Technical shells, dense wools and selected performance constructions.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
