When you are in the process of selecting fabric for your garment, one of the most important things to consider is the GSM in fabric or grams per square meter of the fabric. The GSM is a measure of the density of the fabric and it directly affects the weight, handfeel, opacity and many other important properties of the fabric

What is GSM in fabric?

GSM in fabric stands for grams per square meter and it is a measure of the weight and thickness of the fabric. The higher the GSM, the heavier and thicker the fabric will be. The GSM of a fabric can range from as low as 30 gsm for a very lightweight fabric such as voile to as high as 400 gsm for a heavy fabric such as canvas.
