Fabric weight determines the thickness and, consequently, the durability and comfort of a smock. Lighter fabrics, such as 4.5 oz/sq yd, are more breathable and comfortable for long-term wear, while heavier fabrics, like 7.5 oz/sq yd, offer greater durability and protection. For example, the Cobbler Apron, Twill is made of 7.5 oz twill for robust usage, whereas the K74 Zipper Front Unisex Smock uses a lighter 4.5 oz poplin for comfort. Different fabric weights are available to meet various needs, from lightweight daily wear to heavy-duty applications.
