GSM stands for Grams per Square Metre and it is the metric measurement to check the weight of the fabric. GSM value is dependent on the kind of fabric – Cotton, wool, polyester etc. The fabric GSM is directly proportional to the thickness of the fabric. As the value of gsm increases, the thickness increases as well. GSM is not restricted to fabric alone. It is also used to measure the thickness of paper.

It is important to check the fabric GSM when you are about to buy a T-shirt for promotional purposes or fests or as a uniform for your store. A good T-shirt can range from 160-180 GSM, whereas a collared T-shirt ranges from 180-200 GSM. One cannot judge the quality of the T-shirt with GSM alone. Quality is subjective to factors like the type of cotton, the mix – cotton with polycotton etc., type of knit and also includes the kind of fabric needed according to the seasons. T-shirts are made with combed cotton, which has no small strands of cotton and is made with straightened fibres which makes the fabric smooth, soft and strong.

A summer T-shirt ranges from 130-150 GSM. A cheap promotional T-shirt which is worn only for a few times can be of 100-110 GSM. Hoodies and sweatshirts can range between 300-400 GSM. The higher the GSM, the longer the T-shirt will last, given the number of washes. The price of the fabric also increases with the GSM. The higher the GSM, more amount of raw materials goes into making the fabric – spinning and sewing.

Please be sure to check for GSM, before you order your t-shirts.
