Selecting suits fabric 280 to 400 gsm
280 to 400 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
Heavier apparel and lighter work layers. Heat retention rises with the mass.
For suits, the brief needs consistent matching across garments. A useful hand note is predictable press behaviour.
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.
