Hey everyone — just a quick message from me. First off, sorry for the lack of communication this last week or so. I’ve been hit with a nasty flu and chest infection and I’m now on antibiotics, so I’ve been properly wiped out. I should be back on my feet in a few days when the pills kick in and I’ll be back posting, replying, and helping as normal. Secondly, a big welcome to all the new members who’ve just joined – it’s great to have you here. Jump in, introduce yourself, tell us what you’re working on (or stuck on), and don’t be shy about asking questions. This group works best when everyone gets involved and supports each other. Thanks for your patience – speak soon. Steve

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 👍
