For tank tops choose a fine single jersey of 130–170 GSM, preferably combed, with a little elastane for shape retention at the neckline and armholes. 1x1 rib is used on the hem and straps. A fabric that is too light turns see-through and stretches at the shoulders, while one that is too heavy feels hot. For sport tanks, 140–160 GSM gives good breathability. For an oversized summer look, a 180–200 GSM jersey has more presence. Check length after washing, because tanks shorten easily, and confirm armhole stability.

Because rolls are not identical: they can have different lengths, slightly different widths, GSM values within tolerance and different moisture content.
Weight, width & measurementHow does moisture affect fabric weight?
Fibres absorb moisture from the air, so the weight of a fabric changes with its environment.
