How to read a fabric listing
Every listing on this site carries the same short lines. Here is what each one means, and what the value on this listing means for your garment or furnishing.
195 GSM
GSM
Grams per square metre: how heavy the cloth is.
Under 150 is light (shirts, dresses, linings). 150–250 is medium (trousers, jackets, cushions). Above 250 is heavy (workwear, upholstery, curtains that need to hang straight).
195 GSM is medium weight: trousers, jackets, uniforms, cushions and everyday furnishing.

148 cm
Width
How wide the fabric is on the roll, in centimetres.
Most garment cloth is 140–150 cm. Wide widths (240 cm and up) let a curtain or bedsheet be cut without a seam. Always plan your marker on the usable width.
148 cm is standard garment width: full garment panels cut without piecing.
110 × 70
Construction
Threads per inch, warp × weft, e.g. 108 × 56.
Higher numbers mean a denser, smoother, more stable cloth; lower numbers mean an open, airy weave. For corduroy it is the wale count; for knits it is not quoted.
110 ends × 70 picks per inch: a dense, smooth, stable cloth with a clean face.
100% Cotton
Composition
What the fibre is made of, as a percentage.
Cotton breathes and takes dye evenly. Linen is cooler and creases. Polyester adds strength and crease recovery. A few percent of spandex or Lycra gives stretch.
100% Cotton: cotton breathes, takes dye evenly and washes hard.
Water-repellent
Finish
The treatment given after weaving or dyeing.
Enzyme or bio-polished finishes feel soft from day one. Mercerised cloth holds deep shades and a slight sheen. Loom-state / greige means untreated, ready for your own dye house. RFD is bleached and prepared for dyeing.
Water-repellent: as finished at the mill. Ask us for the care route it suits.
