GSM (Grams per Square Meter)

A measurement of fabric weight/thickness. Lower GSM (120-160) = lightweight. Medium (160-220) = standard. Higher (220-350+) = heavyweight/premium.

Example

A lightweight summer tee might be 145 GSM, while a premium heavyweight hoodie could be 320 GSM. The higher the GSM, the thicker and more substantial the fabric.

Why It Matters

GSM affects how a product feels, drapes, and is perceived. Higher GSM usually means premium quality — something customers can feel immediately.
