Understanding GSM
GSM (grams per square meter) indicates fabric weight. For men's shirts:
- Dress Shirts: 120-150 GSM – lightweight, breathable, crisp.
- Casual Shirts: 130-160 GSM – slightly heavier for durability.
- Heavyweight: 160+ GSM – for winter or workwear.
Our AC-RS-006 is crafted from 130 GSM cotton poplin, balancing comfort and durability. Priced at $12.90, MOQ 30.
Why GSM Matters
Higher GSM offers more opacity and structure, while lower GSM is cooler. We can customize fabric weight based on your market needs.
