Selecting workwear fabric over 400 gsm
over 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
Dense cloth for outer or work layers. It is not a classic shirt weight.
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.

Questions
- Does over 400 GSM mean better workwear?
- No. Heavier is not better. It is only heavier.
