Cotton Drill · by weight
240 g/m² Cotton Drill Fabric (7 oz)
240 g/m² is the standard uniform and workwear drill weight — the default for trousers, work shirts and lighter coveralls. It balances durability against comfort and wash performance, and holds shade across repeat dye lots when sanforised.

Common questions
Is 7 oz the same as 240 g/m²?
Roughly, yes — 7 oz per square yard converts to about 240 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 7 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.
