Selecting workwear fabric 280 to 400 gsm
280 to 400 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
Heavier apparel and lighter work layers. Heat retention rises with the mass.
For workwear, the brief needs abrasion resistance. A useful hand note is stable.
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.
