GSM Cheat Sheet
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:
Hope it helps someone avoid a bad production run 👍
