Gram Weight and Count!
A Must – Read for People in the Clothing Industry! Understand “Gram Weight” and “Count” of Fabrics in 1 Minute
Do you often hear phrases like “This T – shirt has a 200 – gram weight”, “This shirt is 60 count”… but have no idea what they mean at all?
Today, let’s have a layman – friendly popular science. After reading this, you’ll become a fabric expert in seconds! ✨

Gram Weight/G (GSM) = Thickness
To figure out “Is this clothes thick?” Just look at this!
✅ The larger the number = the thicker and sturdier

– < 150g: Ultra – thin (Suitable for summer, but easy to be see – through)
– 150 – 250g: Moderate (The first choice for daily T – shirts and shirts)
– 300g: Heavyweight (Specially for sweaters, jeans, and coats)
Avoid pitfalls: Don’t think that a higher gram weight means better quality! Wearing a 300g T – shirt in summer will make you feel so hot that you’ll doubt your life…

Count/S = Fineness
To figure out “Is this clothes rough?” Look at this!
✅ The larger the number = the finer and softer

– 20 – 30 count: Thick and heavy (Work clothes, canvas, durable but hard)
– 40 – 60 count: Moderate (Choose this for good shirts and beddings)
– 80 count +: High – end (As smooth as real silk, but delicate and easy to wrinkle)

A one – sentence summary:
Gram weight → Determines the thickness (The larger the number = thicker)
Count → Determines the fineness (The larger the number = softer)

Next time when choosing fabrics or buying clothes, remember to check the care label! You’ll never be fooled again~
