Did you ever come across a few types of numbers like 50/50 or 80/20 while buying clothes? Have you ever thought about what does this 50/50 and 80/20 mean? It means that 50%is cotton and 50% is polyester while the other number means 80% is cotton and 20% is polyester. You can observe this numbering type especially in the case of T-shirts. In a similar way, have you wondered what GSM means? In simple terms, GSM: grams per square metre is the metric measurement of the weight of a fabric. Understanding the variation:Mathematics is actually quite important to understand about the variation in the weights of fabric. But, it’s not possible for us to take a calculator and go shopping, is it? Now, the question is what is the good weight of fabric that you can buy? Well! It depends on the requirement and needs. If a user wishes to buy a thick T-shirt then it may vary between 180-200gsm and if they go for a lightweight T-shirt, then it may vary between 130-150gsm. Next is the quality and long-lasting factor. Which fabric will give you both these features?It depends on which type of fabric you buy. If the user wants to use the cloth on a daily basis, then definitely a thicker fabric with good gsm number is beneficial. Else the fabric with low gsm number used on a daily basis will lose its quality. And if a user wants to use that fabric occasionally, then it can have a low gsm. Which kind of fabric is the best?When it comes to prices of any fabric, it’s definitely true that: higher the weight of fabric that is higher the gsm of a fabric, higher will be its cost. It depends on individuals' perspectives to which type of fabric they want to buy for themselves. Also, usually the GSM won’t be listed on free fabric materials, it’s just that the consumers shouldn’t get to know. While manufacturing the GSM is always listed. So, it's good if you enquire about the GSM before buying the fabric.
