When selecting school uniforms, one of the most important yet overlooked factors is GSM (Grams per Square Meter). This measurement determines the weight and quality of the fabric, directly impacting durability, comfort, and appearance.
What is GSM?
GSM refers to the weight of fabric measured in grams per square meter. Higher GSM typically means:
- Thicker, more durable fabric
- Better opacity and coverage
- Enhanced longevity
- Superior appearance retention
Recommended GSM for School Uniforms
- T-shirts: 160-180 GSM (lightweight, breathable)
- Polo shirts: 180-200 GSM (structured, professional)
- Trousers/Skirts: 200-250 GSM (durable, shape-retaining)
- Blazers: 250-300 GSM (formal, structured)
