Selecting shirts fabric over 400 gsm
over 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
Dense cloth for outer or work layers. It is not a classic shirt weight.
For shirts, the brief needs stable cutting behaviour. 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.

- No. Heavier is not better. It is only heavier.
