200 g/m² Cotton Drill Fabric (6 oz)
200 g/m² is the light end of true 3/1 cotton drill — heavy enough to read as a warp-faced diagonal, light enough for shirts, liners and lighter uniform trousers. Below this, a 2/1 twill is usually the better construction.

Common questions
Is 6 oz the same as 200 g/m²?
Roughly, yes — 6 oz per square yard converts to about 200 g/m². The exact g/m² depends on the construction; we confirm it on the article table at RFQ.
What is the minimum order for 6 oz cloth?
100 metres for greige with no per-colour minimum, or 1,000 metres per colour once dyeing or printing is involved. No container commitment.
