Fabric Weight: SHUKR has classified the different fabrics it uses into 4 different degrees of weight in order to help the customer make an informed purchasing choice:

1- Light weight - fabrics weighing between 75-150 grams per square metre (gsm). These fabrics are great for warmer weather and for layering all year round.

2- Medium weight - fabrics weighing between 150-225 grams per square metre (gsm). These are fabrics which work well all year round, but might be a bit too warm for very hot summer climates.

3- Heavy weight - fabrics weighing between 225-300 grams per square metre (gsm). These fabrics are best worn in Spring, Autumn and Winter.

4- Extra Heavy Weight – fabrics weighing over 300 grams per square metre (gsm). These are fabrics meant to be used for the Winter season.

Fabric Type: Some customers are interested in knowing what the fabric construction is. There are 2 basic types of fabrics, categorized according to the type of machine that makes it: woven and knitted. Woven fabrics come in 3 main sub-categories: plain weave, twill weave and satin weave. Knitted fabrics, like the popular jersey, are normally stretchy fabrics that are good for t-shirts and tops, sportswear and comfortable dresses. Apart from jersey, other common knitted fabrics are French terry, ponte de roma and rib.

Fabric Code: SHUKR, like all companies, often uses the same fabrics for many designs. Repeat customers may like a fabric of a particular garment they purchased from SHUKR in the past and want to know what other products are available in this same fabric.
