Selecting shirts fabric 280 to 400 gsm
280 to 400 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
Heavier apparel and lighter work layers. Heat retention rises with the mass.
For shirts, the brief needs collar and placket friendliness. A useful hand note is crisp or soft-crisp hand.
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.
