Selecting trousers fabric 200 to 280 gsm
200 to 280 GSM is a planning band for trousers. 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 trousers, the brief needs recovery at seat and knee. A useful hand note is stable structure.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Twills, denser plains, wool suitings, linen blends and selected stretch wovens dominate.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
