Washed Tee GSM Handfeel Approval for Brand Buyers

# Washed Tee GSM Handfeel Approval for Brand Buyers

What is washed tee GSM handfeel approval for brand buyers?

**Washed tee GSM handfeel approval** is the buyer-controlled sequence that freezes fabric weight and hand on a production-intent washed cotton tee before bulk. For Weavnora **100% cotton heavyweight or washed T-shirt** programs in the **220–300 GSM** window—and related hoodie/casualwear—approve GSM and handfeel after details are confirmed (**about 7 days** for sample), against a **1,000-piece style MOQ**, so the later **about 30-day** bulk plan (project-dependent) matches the signed feel standard for NA and EU shipments.

How should buyers prepare the GSM and handfeel package?

Lock these inputs before requesting washed samples for feel approval:

1. **Target GSM** — named value inside 220300 with tolerance the buyer accepts.

2. **Wash / finish state** — same commercial wash that will ship.

3. **Handfeel descriptors** — softness, drape, surface dryness, residual stiffness notes.

4. **Comparison standard** — approved bulk reference or physical swatch when available.

5. **Measurement method** — how GSM is cut/weighed on the washed sample.

6. **Approve / revise / reject** form with signed comments and date.

When should buyers approve GSM and handfeel relative to decoration?

Approve weight and hand on the **washed ship state** before locking decoration that depends on surface feel (screen print, DTG, embroidery, or special print). Changing wash after handfeel approval usually requires a new washed sample check.

“Approve washed-tee GSM and handfeel on the production substrate and finish state before releasing bulk—written pass criteria on the sample sheet protect NA/EU brand programs from feel drift.” — common buyer QA practice for washed cotton tee OEM

How does GSM handfeel approval connect to sample and bulk release?

• Do not start bulk cutting or wash lots until GSM and handfeel are **approved in writing**.

• Keep approved washed samples with the tech pack, PPS, and wash recipe notes.

• If GSM target or wash recipe changes, re-run feel approval before the 1,000-piece style MOQ release.

• Plan bulk timing (~30 days, project-dependent) only after sample confirmation and feel approval.

What should the RFQ say about GSM handfeel approval?

State target GSM (220–300), wash/finish state, handfeel descriptors, destination (NA/EU), assortment against the 1,000-piece MOQ, decoration method if feel must precede print, and that bulk starts after signed feel approval.
