Clothing & everyday wear

Read the size chart, not just S-M-L.

Fabric, GSM and fit decide comfort — for every age, every season.

Most people need four wardrobes in one year: dry heat, coastal humidity, rainy damp and a short sharp winter. Yet clothes are bought on print, brand and a letter size. What actually decides comfort is fibre content, fabric weight in GSM, weave, and the measurement chart in inches. These guides tell you what to wear by gender, age group, weather and even the time of day — from breathable daytime cotton to soft night-wear knits and safe, certified fabrics for babies.

Fit by numbers

Chest, shoulder and length in inches — plus GSM, so the tee doesn't go see-through.

  • What is the exact fibre percentage on the label?
  • What is the GSM of this t-shirt fabric?
  • Is it pre-shrunk and bio-washed, or will it shrink in the first wash?
  • Can I see the size chart in inches instead of S/M/L?
