Selecting suits fabric 200 to 280 gsm
200 to 280 GSM is a planning band for suits. 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 suits, the brief needs recovery. A useful hand note is controlled structure.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Worsted wools, tropical wools and selected stretch suitings dominate.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
