Selecting trousers fabric 280 to 400 gsm
280 to 400 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
Heavier apparel and lighter work layers. Heat retention rises with the mass.
For trousers, the brief needs crease or soft break behaviour as designed. 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.
