It is very important task for garment merchandisers about clear concept on correct fabric consumption and costing. Because fabric cost bears the 40% to 45% of the total cost of any garments.
Knitted T-shirt (Front & Back)Fabric Consumption for Knitted T-shirt:
These are some basic function to make consumption of a knitted t-shirt, such as-
- Fabric type and weight (Single jersey 145 GSM)
- Basic measurement (1/2 Chest, Back length and sleeve length)
- Sewing allowance
- Wastage (Cutting and Sewing- 10%, 15% etc.)
Suppose,
- Length = 70 cm
- ? Chest = 60 cm/dia
- Sleeve length = 25 cm
- Arm hole width = 40 cm
- GSM = 145
Formula =
= [( Back length + Sleeve length) × ? Chest ×2×GSM×12] / 10000000
= [{(70 + 5) + (25 + 5)} × 60 ×2×145×12] / 10000000
= 2.28 kg + 7 %
= 2.28 kg + 0.159
= 2.439 kg/doz [Neck and sleeve are made rib so add 0.10]
