Fabrics under 150 gsm — often used for light shirts, dresses and linings. Weight is only a starting filter; check fiber, construction and opacity on each detail page.
Not always. GSM does not equal opacity — yarn, density and finishing matter. Confirm with a physical card or cut sample.
How do I order lightweight swatches?
The physical mill color cards are free; the Swatch Box fee covers coordination and worldwide express shipping — $69 for up to 5 swatches or $119 for up to 10, max 10 fabrics per box. Cut samples are $4 service fee per fabric plus shipping at cost (1–10 m).
