Most clothing brands mess up fabric before they mess up design. One of the biggest blind spots I see: GSM. If you don’t understand GSM, you’ll: Order tees that feel cheap Get hoodies that don’t hold shape Overpay for fabric you don’t actually need So I put together a simple GSM cheat sheet that covers: Ideal GSM ranges for tees, hoodies, sweats, jackets What GSM actually feels like in real life When higher GSM is worth it — and when it’s just marketing Common GSM mistakes new brands make with manufacturers It’s meant for brand owners, not factories. No fluff, just practical ranges you can use before placing an order. If you’re starting out or planning your next drop, this will save you time and expensive sampling mistakes. Here’s the cheat sheet: 👉 https://rastify.gumroad.com/l/apeaq Hope it helps someone avoid a bad production run 👍

Quick question for brand owners here 👋 When you first started production, what confused you the most: stitching construction (neck, shoulder, hems)? printing methods? or choosing the right manufacturer? I’ve noticed many new brands struggle with basic manufacturing decisions, not design. I’ve been working in apparel production for 15+ years, and I still see the same mistakes repeating. I recently put together a free beginner-friendly manufacturing guide covering stitching basics and common printing techniques manufacturers actually offer. Sharing in case it helps anyone starting out: 👉 https://rastify.gumroad.com/l/ujorz Would love to hear what part of manufacturing you’re currently stuck on
