      I often see other t shirts advertising their weight in terms of gsm. How much is this 11 oz shirt in terms of gsm, for comparison purposes.

        oz per square yard, as opposed to grams per square meter.
        now you do the math 😉

        if you want to cheat, here's a comparison chart, it's 373gsm:

          I have some real time numbers for you @Jbailla2.

          My Freenote cloth 13oz tee shirt weighs 295 grams
          My Iron Heart 1600 (same fabric in this thread but SS weighs 470 grams).
          My 1501 weighs 570 grams.
          Both shirts feel much more substantial than the Freenote, I truly don’t know how Freenote comes up with the 13oz number.

          This is one of the reasons IH is hard to show on screen. It’s amazing in person to see touch and feel. One of my favorite parts of getting something new is the wow factor since i haven’t had a retailer within 500 miles (till very recently).

              now you do the math 😉

              if you want to cheat, here's a comparison chart, it's 373gsm:
              https://fashion-incubator.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/gsm_to_oz_yd_2.pdf

              Ok, so what you're saying is that the 11 ounces (311.8 grams) being advertised for this shirt is actually ounces per square yard rather than the weight one of square meter of fabric. The excerpt from the Merz B Schwanen FAQ copied below would indicate that an 11 oz fabric is 311.8 gsm which translates to 9.20 oz/square yard in your linked conversion chart as well as this calculator… https://www.ginifab.com/feeds/ozyd2_gm2/.

              "What does the weight in the product description mean?
              Fabric weight is measured per m² of fabric. For example, with a weight of 200 grams (7,1oz) per m², this means that a 1 meter wide and 1 meter long piece of fabric weighs 200 grams (7,1oz) "

              So, if it's 11 ounces per square yard, the shirt is 373 gsm (13.1 ounce fabric weight).
              If it's 11 ounces in fabric weight, it's 311.8 gsm (9.2 ounces per square yard).

              Either way, I own and love the shirt…I'm just trying to compare the weight against other brands and have a point of reference.

                    @Matt I would say that ours are ever so slightly heavier. Maybe 10oz : 11oz sort of difference

                                      Love the color too. Fabric became really strange to the touch though. I feel like it needs a machine wash before I can start to wear it. Anybody experienced with that?
