§ 01There Isn't One Perfect GSM
India's temperature, humidity and seasons vary enormously. The more useful question is which combination of weight, fit and fabric suits how and where you will wear the garment.
§ 02What Does GSM Mean?
GSM indicates fabric weight. Lower-GSM fabrics generally feel lighter; higher-GSM fabrics provide more substance and visual structure. GSM alone does not establish quality.
§ 03180 GSM vs 210 GSM vs 240 GSM
Around 180 GSM provides a relatively light feel; 210 GSM offers a more substantial everyday character; 220-240 GSM can suit oversized silhouettes that need structure and drape.
§ 04KHAVYN's Fabric Choices
Signature Round Neck uses 210 GSM combed cotton. Signature Oversized uses approximately 220-240 GSM combed cotton with Bio Wash and Pre-Shrunk finishing.
§ 05What Should You Choose?
Consider weather, occasion, silhouette and personal preference. Outdoor summer use differs from wearing a structured garment indoors or in the evening.
§ 06Fabric Quality Goes Beyond GSM
Cotton quality, fabric construction, finishing, fit, stitching and GSM together create a more useful picture than fabric weight alone.
