For example, a t-shirt made of a lightweight cotton fabric may have a GSM of around 120, while a heavy wool fabric for coats may have a GSM of 400 or more.To find the GSM of a specific fabric, look on the product page in the &quot;Product Specifications&quot; tab, where it will be listed as &quot;Industry Weight.&quot;&#xA0;If the product you are interested in does not list this information, please reach out to our customer service department, and we will be happy to assist you.

GSM stands for grams per square meter and it is a unit of measurement that
is used to determine the weight or density of a fabric. It refers to the weight of
the fabric per unit area, typically measured in grams per square meter. In the
textile industry, GSM is commonly used to describe the weight or thickness of
a fabric. The higher the GSM, the heavier and thicker the fabric will be. For
example, a t-shirt made of a lightweight cotton fabric may have a GSM of
around 120, while a heavy denim fabric used for jeans may have a GSM of 400
or more. GSM is an important consideration when selecting fabrics for various
applications, such as clothing, upholstery, bedding, and more. It can affect the
drape, durability, and performance of the fabric, and may be a factor in
determining the price and quality of the fabric.
