So, you’ve gone off the deep end and started looking at fabric weight when shopping for T-shirts. Congratulations, you are now a fully certified menswear weirdo, just like all of us here – welcome!
To an outsider, the weight of a T-shirt might seem like a non-issue. After all, most brands don’t even specify the GSM (grams per square metre, that’s how weight is measured) of their materials, so can it really be that important? To some men, perhaps not, but if you’re bothered about how a T-shirt drapes, how long it lasts, and how the fabric ages then it’s an important factor to consider.
