Tex equals grams per 1000 meters. So, the larger the number the bigger the thread. 80 Tex is also common in jeans, and is equivalent to 7.38 Number English (the number of 840 yard hanks in a pound). It is about the same size as a typical warp yarn in 14 oz denim.
Interesting comment about thread shrinkage. Need to find out more about that.
