GSM means grams per square metre of fabric. It describes fabric mass over a defined area, rather than the finished weight of a shirt.
What the number describes
GSM means grams per square metre of fabric. It describes fabric mass over a defined area, rather than the finished weight of a shirt. A higher number does not by itself prove better quality, greater comfort or longer service life. Construction, yarn, finishing and garment design also matter.
Compare equivalent specifications
YUNFAN product materials list options such as 180, 210 and 220 GSM on particular styles. Confirm whether the stated figure applies after dyeing or finishing. Avoid treating a nominal weight as an exact measurement for every piece or assuming two fabrics with the same weight will feel identical.
Use a sample to judge suitability
Handle and wear a sample in the intended setting. Consider opacity, drape, collar appearance and how the fabric feels during movement. Request a confirmed specification for the selected style instead of choosing solely by the largest GSM number.
