Selecting workwear fabric 200 to 280 gsm
200 to 280 GSM is a planning band for workwear. 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 workwear, the brief needs abrasion resistance. A useful hand note is protective where required.
What still matters more
Compare GSM only inside one construction. Twills, canvases, denims and durable blends are common starting points.
If the fabric page omits weight, leave the cell blank and ask in the inquiry.
