Size

Finished dimensions

Measured after washing and hemming, given in centimetres and inches so the same page works on both sides of an order.

GSM

Grams per square metre

Fabric weight. Higher GSM means a denser pile: more absorbent, slower to dry, more expensive per piece.

MOQ

Minimum order quantity

The smallest run we can put on the loom for that size. Smaller sizes carry higher minimums because they weave faster.

Stitch

Hem construction

Single- or double-stitched. This is the single biggest factor in how many industrial wash cycles the piece survives.

Construction guide

Single-stitch vs. double-stitch

Every product page in this catalog notes which hem construction it uses, illustrated directly on the product's technical drawing.

SINGLE-STITCH HEMDOUBLE-STITCH HEM
Hem detail — enlargedNot to scale

Single-stitch hem

A single line of stitching folds and secures the raw edge. Economical and lightweight — well suited to retail, decorative and everyday-use items with moderate laundering cycles.

Double-stitch hem

Two parallel rows of stitching reinforce the edge against fraying and repeated stress. Built for institutional laundering — hotels, gyms, spas and other high-turnover commercial use.

Standard sizing

The towel size run

Unless a product page says otherwise, towel lines are woven to this run at 350–700 GSM.

Room count, wash frequency and budget per piece are usually enough for us to recommend a GSM and a hem.
