Selecting trousers fabric over 400 gsm
over 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
Dense cloth for outer or work layers. It is not a classic shirt weight.
For trousers, the brief needs recovery at seat and knee. A useful hand note is good recovery.
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.
