Understanding Density: The Role of Fabric Weight in Real Garments
Grams per square meter (GSM) is a measure of density, not simply a number. In an era of disposable fashion, weight represents permanence.
A Measure of Substance
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. It is a precise physical measurement of fabric density. A 1m × 1m swatch of 260GSM cotton jersey weighs exactly 260 grams. High density translates directly to how a garment feels, moves, and lasts.
We do not view GSM as a marketing statistic. It is a commitment to construction. A high-density garment rests on the body with confidence, resisting the temporary trends of fast, lightweight fashion.
What does GSM mean in clothing?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. It is the weight and density of the fabric. Higher GSM indicates a more substantial, heavier fabric that drapes cleanly and holds its structure over time.
Fabric Weight Classes and Intent
Every weight has a purpose. We select specific densities to support the architectural lines of our silhouettes.
| GSM Range | Classification | Intended Use | Drape & Feel |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120-160 | Lightweight | Basics, underlayers | Airy, soft, minimal structure |
| 180-220 | Midweight | Standard basics | Standard drape, moderate durability |
