GPU for all CHILDREN'S SLEEPWEAR garments meeting "flame resistant" requirements, a Gross Product Unit Number (GPU #) MUST be noted on the care label. Every 500 dozen garments must be tested by an outside testing laboratory for flammability and a GPU number assigned. The supporting "flame resistant" documents must be shipped with the garments to ensure release through customs. The GPU # can be assigned by the vendor. Position the GPU # beneath the RN# on the care label. The words, "Flame Resistant" (English), "Igni' Fugo" (Spanish) must appear on the FRONT of the label, visible to customs. Position BENEATH size indicator. (Important Note: this definition & requirement of GPU may be changed. Please contact the Federal Trade Commission of the USA government for the most current and accurate information. The above definition is being posted in 2004 and we can not guarantee its accuracy.)

gray
grayish somewhat gray.
greatcoat a heavy overcoat
greave armor for the leg below the knee
green somewhat less yellow than growing fresh grass.
grenadine a moderate reddish orange. An open-weave fabric of various fibers.
grey heather A mixed fabric color is achieved by using different colors of fibre and mixing them together (a good example is a grey heather t-shirts). Black and white fibre mixed will combine to give grey heather fibre. Heather is blended fibers combined to create a vari-colored effect. Heather fabric typically contains 3 fibers: cotton, polyester or rayon. Heather grey fabric is never 100% Cotton. Another fiber must always be added with the cotton in order to achieve the necessary color. It is important to note that depending on the percent of cotton, the fabric can still be legally labeled 100% cotton. You will need to check the most current regulations to determine the percentage of cotton required to label as 100% cotton. You can probably learn that information from the Federal Trade Commission. You can find a link to that government office from the care label page
grinding fabricated wear marks on denim; often on the edge fabric of pocket openings, leg openings, or the outer fabric of the fly on a jean; creates a worn-in look that is caused by the wearing through of the edge of fabric (at the hem, for example); grinding is not to be confused with a fray as grinding is somewhat scattered randomly.
grizzle a roan coat pattern or C, or a brownish red.

g-string a strip of cloth passed between the legs and supported by a waist cord

guanaco species the Guanaco is considered to be a wild species, like the Vicuña. Some scientists think that Lamas and Alpacas are races derived from the Guanaco. Other consider that they’re different species. Actually, we can say that both theories are valid. In the natural environment, those animals make up herds of 5 to 10 females, a male and their offspring. The period in which the Guanacos are in heat corresponds to the southern summer, between November and February. The gestation period lasts eleven months. The Guanaco belongs to the South American Camelids and is a little bigger than the Vicuña.
guard's check when a 2 and 2 colour order is used in both the warp and the weft of a 2/2 twill, a distinctive vertical line effect is produced.
(Example of guard's check)
guar gum (Galactomannan) is a high molecular weight carbohydrate polymer derived from the natural seed of guar plant (Cyampopis tetragonolobus). Part of the seed is Hull (14-17%), Endosperm (35-42%), and germ (43-47%). Guar gum is a polysaccharide consisting of a mannose backbone with a galactose side chain. The galactose is randomly placed on the mannose backbone with the average ratio 1:2 of galactose to mannose. Guar gum has a polymeric structure containing numerous hydroxyl groups, which are treated for manufacturing various derivatives used for special applications in various industries. The powder is off white to yellowish in color depending on the quality of the seed. Guar gum is obtained by an automatic mechanical process in which first the seed is split into two halves and the hull and the germ is mechanically scraped off to obtain endosperm. The endosperm thus obtained is further purified and grounded into powder of required granulation and viscosity. Neelkanth Polymers' state-of-the-art plant is capable of producing several grades of guar gum ranging from very low to very high viscosity and from coarse to fine granulation. Guar Gum gives excellent film forming and thickening properties when used for textile sizing, finishing and printing. It reduces warp breakage, reduces dusting while sizing and gives better efficiency in production.
guayabera The Guayabera Shirt (gwai-a-Ber-a) is one of the most authentic symbols of Latin Culture. They are made of light fabrics to weather tropical heat. Distinctive for its two vertical pleats, four spacious pockets and embroidery detail in a variety of fashion colors. Usually short-sleeved (but also designed in long sleeve) lightweight sport shirt designed to be worn un-tucked.
