Method of Fabric Consumption Calculation for Knitted Polo Shirt

Method of Fabric Consumption Calculation for Knitted Polo Shirt:

To get the fabric consumption for Knitted polo shirt calculation, you have to breakdown every single part of a knitted polo shirt. A basic knitted polo shirt should have below individual parts:

1. Body parts (Body + Sleeve)

2. Pocket

3. Half-moon

4. Collar

Fabric Consumption for Knitted Polo:

At first, we need to review the polo shirt measurement (also add sewing allowance on it) & fabric Specification for the polo shirt from product package which provided by the buyer.

Lest consider product specification as given below:

1.100% cotton pique fabric for body parts (Body + Sleeve+half moon+pocket ), GSM 200

2. 100% cotton 1 × 1 Rib fabric for collar and Cuff, GSM 220 

Now, Let’s calculate total fabric consumption by Formula for Polo shirt:

1. Body Fabric Consumption for Body & Sleeve:

= (Body Length X Sleeve length) X (1/2 Chest) X2 X GSM X12  KGS/Dozen

                                          10000000

= (78 + 28) X 62 X2 X 200 X12  KG/Dozen)

                       10000000

=3.09 KGS/Dozen

2. Fabric Consumption for Pocket:

= (Pocket Length X Pocket Width) X200X12 KG/Dozen

                     10000000

= (13X 12)X 200  KG/Dozen)

       10000000

=0.04 KG/Dozen

3. Fabric Consumption for half Moon:

= (Half Moon Length X Half Moon Width) X200X12 KG/Dozen

                     10000000

= (19X 11)X 200  KG/Dozen)

       10000000

=0.05 KGS/Dozen

4. Fabric Consumption for Collar:

= (Collar Length X Collar Width) X220X12 KG/Dozen

                     10000000

= (40X 11)X 220  KG/Dozen)

       10000000

=0.12 KGS/Dozen

5. Fabric Consumption for Cuff:

= (Collar Length X Collar Width) X220X24 KG/Dozen

                     10000000

= (26X 5)X 220  KG/Dozen)

       10000000

=0.07 KG/Dozen

Let’s add total consumption for polo short (Body+Sleeve+Pocket+half moon+Collar + Cuff)

= 3.09KG+0.04KG+0.05KG+0.12KG+0.07KG

=3.37 KGS/Dozen

Adding fabric wastage 10%

=3.37 KGS X 10%

=3.50 KGS/Dozen

So, Total fabric Consumption for this Polo shirt is 3.50 KGS/Dozen Garment
