Most brands list fabric weight. Almost none explain what it means at the seam, at the shoulder, after 40 washes. 240gsm: the default for basics brands in this price tier. Drapes fine on the rack. Loses structure after a year. 260gsm: the threshold where single jersey starts to hold a silhouette. Drop shoulder lands correctly. The hem doesn't roll. This is where we landed for IN/TL/2. 280gsm: technically heavier, but single jersey at this weight gets stiff without enzyme washing — and most mills don't run enzyme programs at this gsm. 260gsm GOTS organic cotton, garment-dyed after sew. Somelos mill, Portugal. We're building a boxy drop-shoulder tee at $110. The weight is not a marketing number.
