Why now

r/malefashionadvice 'Banana Republic in 2026' thread (163 upvotes) shows consumers actively discussing fabric quality decline and shifting toward roomier, heavier fits — the gsm education angle fills a specific knowledge gap that thread reveals.

Visual direction

Talking-head format, founder on camera in a spare Brooklyn studio or kitchen — no set dressing, natural light from one window. Hold up two fabric swatches — one visibly thinner, one with obvious body. Do a simple fold test showing how the 400gsm holds its fold line and the 280gsm collapses. Final 3 seconds: hold the 400gsm swatch directly to camera. No text overlay except gsm labels on the swatches.
