Woven shirt consumption formula (Tops):
To determine fabric consumption for the woven shirt, we need to identify the individual parts of the Woven shirt (Tops). For a basic woven shirt found below parts:
- Body (Chest)
- Sleeve
- Collar
- Collar Band
- Yoke
- Cuff
Now let’s calculate fabric consumption for a Woven Shirt:
According to the buyer specifications sheet we consider the below measurements to calculate fabric consumption for Woven shirts:
Here below find below Woven Shirt consumption formula:
1. Body Fabric Consumption Formula:
(Body Length X ½ Chest)X Number of Parts Yards
Fabric width X 36
= (32 X 24) X 2 Yards
44X 36
= 1536 Yards
1584
= 0.97 Yds/Pc
2. Sleeve Fabric Consumption Formula:
(Sleeve Length X Armhole width X Number of Parts Yards
Fabric width X 36
= 22 X 21 X 2 Yards
44 X 36
= 924 Yards
1584
= 0.58 Yds/Pc
3. Collar Fabric Consumption Formula:
Collar Length X Collar height X Number of Parts Yards
Fabric width X 36
= 25 X 4 X2 Yards
44 X 36
= 200 Yards
1584
=0.13 Yds/Pc
4. Collar Band Fabric Consumption Formula:
Collar band Length X Collar band height X Number of Parts Yards
Fabric width X 36
= 19 X 2 X 2 Yards
44X 36
= 76 Yards
1584
=0.05 Yds/Pc
5. Yoke Fabric Consumption Formula:
Yoke Length X Yoke height X Number of Parts Yards
Fabric width X 36
= 21 X 5 X 2 Yards
44X 36
= 210 Yards
1584
= 0.13 Yds/Pc
6. Pocket Fabric Consumption Formula:
Pocket Length X Pocket Width X Number of Parts Yards
Fabric width X 36
= 6 X 5 X 2 Yards
44X 36
= 60 Yards
1584
= 0.04 Yds/Pc
7. Cuff Fabric Consumption Formula:
Cuff Length X Cuff height X 4 Yards
Fabric width X 36
= 4.75X 2.25 X 4 Yards
44X 36
= 42.75 Yards
1584
= 0.03 Yds/Pc
Now, find the total fabric consumption by adding individual parts consumption:
Body+Sleeve+Collar+Collarband+Yoke+Pocket+Cuff
= 0.97+0.58+0.13+0.05+0.04+0.03
=1.80 yds/Pc
Now, we add fabric wastage 5% it:
=2.38X 5%
=1.89 Yds/Pc
So, fabric consumption for Woven Shirt is 1.89 yds/pc.
