Selecting shirts fabric 200 to 280 gsm
200 to 280 GSM is a planning band for shirts. 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 shirts, the brief needs stable cutting behaviour. A useful hand note is clean surface.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Poplin, oxford, twill, fine jersey and selected linens cover most shirt briefs.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
