What the numbers mean

GSM — grams per square metre — is the weight, and it predicts most of how a garment feels: 140–160 is a thin promotional tee, 200 a standard tee, 270 a heavyweight; 400–450 an everyday hoodie, 500 and above a premium fleece. Ring-spun means the yarn was twisted fine and smooth rather than open-end — softer and more durable. Compacted means the fabric was shrunk before cutting, so the finished garment moves little in the wash; cotton still shrinks a little — usually 3 to 5 per cent on the first wash — and our patterns allow for it.

Where it comes from

Cotton grown in Punjab, spun and knitted at mills near Faisalabad, a few hours from the factory. We specify the yarn count, weight and finish and check every roll on arrival. Custom fabric developed from scratch — a weight or construction we do not stock — is possible from 300 metres, roughly 300–500 garments, and adds to the lead time.

Related questions

Which weight should I choose for a tee?
200 gsm for everyday and promotional; 270 for a premium or streetwear brand — about $2 more per piece at 50, and the garment the customer keeps.
Which weight for a hoodie?
400–450 for uniforms and everyday; 500 and above for streetwear.
Can I get a fabric swatch?
Yes — swatches of the range, or a blank sample of the garment, before you commit.
Can you use my fabric?
Ask — it depends on the fabric and the quantity. Usually we can source the same specification faster than it can be shipped to us.
