Consumption of this types of fabric is defined as the total amount of fabric which is used to make a complete garment. This types of fabric consumption is expressed as Yards or Meters. It is very necessary for merchandiser.  The quantity of fabric needed for making a garment is called fabric consumption. It is difficult to know the actual consumption before completion of marker planning but we can get an approximate fabric consumption from sample.

  2. From measurement or mathematical system ( it is approximate)

Woven Pant Consumption

Suppose,

A = Thigh (Dia) = 26 inch

B = Waist Band Height = 2 inch

C = Out seam = 42 inch

Fabric cut able width – 59″

Fabric Consumption Formula :

Fabric consumption formula of fabric for marketing  is given here-

fabric consumption formula

=1.24+5% wastage [considering 5% wastage]

=1.24+ yds.

=1.3 yds.

=1.3X0.91 meter

=1.18 m.

Fabric Consumption Formula for Shirt :

International Size Grading :

Infant baby = 1-2-3 years, Size : 1-2-3

Toddlers = 4-5-6 years, Size : 4-5-6

fabric consumption formula

Boys & girls = 6-16 years, Size : 

Fabric consumption per dozen of a full shirt:

Considering medium size (M) for calculation-

Body Section: (body length+allowance) × (1/2 chest+allowance) × 2

= ( 74cm+5cm) × (55cm+5cm) × 2 = 79cm × 60cm × 2 = 9480 sq. cm.

Sleeve Section:(sleeve length+allowance) × (arm hole straight+allowance) × 2 × 2

=(65cm+4cm) × (23cm+3cm) × 4 = 69 cm × 26cm × 4 = 7176 sq. cm.

Collar & Collar Band: (collar band length+allowance) × (collar band+collar point+allowance) × 2

=(41cm+3cm) × (3cm+7cm+4cm) × 2 = 44cm × 14cm × 2 = 1232 sq. cm.

Pocket:(pocket length+allowance) × (pocket width+allowance)

=(14cm+3cm) × (12cm+2cm) = 17cm × 14cm = 238 sq. cm.

Extra Yoke:(shoulder across+allowance) × (yoke height+allowance)

= (48cm+4cm) × (11.5cm+4cm) = 52cm × 15.5cm = 806 sq.com.

Now fabric consumption per shirt will be,

A+B+C+D+E = (9480 + 7176 + 1232 + 238 + 806) sq.cm = 18932sq.cm = 18932÷127

= 149.07cm = 1.49m = 1.5m/Pc.

Size Ratio:

S       = 2×1.48 m = 2.96 m

M      = 3×1.50 m = 4.50 m

L       = 3×1.52 m = 4.56 m

XL    = 2×1.54 m = 3.08 m

XXL =2×1.56 m  = 3.12 m

Total = 18.22 m/dozen.

Costing per dozen of shirt:

  1. Fabric cost = 18.22m × $ 1.64 = $ 29.88
  2. Accessories cost  = $ 5.50
  3. Washing cost = $ 1.50
  4. Dyeing cost = $ 50.00
  5. Cutting & Making charge = $15.00

Total manufacturing cost                 = $ 101.88

profit 10%                                           = $ 10.19

Commission 5%                                  = $ 5.09

Selling price per dozen of shirt = $ 117.58

Fabric consumption per piece

Fabric consumption per piece (for knitted polo shirt):

Body, Sleeve & Chest consumption   = 201.09 gm

Neck Rib (approximate) consumption= 10.00 gm

Gross weight per piece = 211.09 gm = 0.211 kg

Consumption per dozen = 2.53 kg

  • Fabric Price per dozen = 2.53$ 6  = $ 15.20                (Fabric price/kg = $ 6 )
  • CM cost per dozen = $   15
  • Accessories cost per dozen           = $   00
  • Dyeing cost per dozen           = $ 10.00

Another Fabric Consumption Both For Knit And Woven

At first we have to identify the fabric length:

Imagine /suppose,

Length = 1251 cm

1251 / 2.54 =492.52 inch’s      [as 1 inch = 2.54 cm]

492.52 / 36 = 13.68 yds           [as 1 yds = 36 inch]

68 / 36 = 0.018 yds

Total = (13 + 0.018) yds

= 13.018 yds

Order qty = 3,500 pcs

Ratio

S          M         L          XL

1          3          2          1          = 7PCS

500      1500    1000    500      = 3,500 PCS

Consumption Rules:

(Length / Ratio *dozen)

= (13.018 / 7 *12)

= 22.32 yds

There we find, 22.32 yds fabric needs to make 12 pcs shirts.

Order qty =3500

Fabric need to do order qty

= (22.32 / 12*3500)

= 6,509 yds

Fabric consumption set with Marking:

To set marking and calculate fabric consumption, have to add 2% with fabric consumption. This 2% is considered as wastage in marking setting to calculate consumption.

From 22.32 yds the consumption we have to take 2%

= 0.446 yds

And with marking consumption will be

= (0.446 + 22.32) yds

= 22.77 yds

Note

Before consumption calculation we have to measure 5 or 6 roll fabric width due to set marker width. From this 6 width lowest one is chosen and give marker 1 inch minus than fabrics width. Suppose – fabrics width – 56 ½  inch then marker width will be – 55 ½ inch. 1 inch is considering as both side edge needle mark.

Merchandiser for Marketing,

A man who collect order from customer sourcing raw materials production on time  & ensure quality called merchandiser.

In this definition about merchandiser we find out following activities of a merchandiser

  • collect order
  • Sourcing materials
  • Production on time
  • Ensure quality

Fabric consumption (Woven)

Consumption = Length / 36* panel width / marker width

Fabric consumption ( knitted fabric )

Consumption = knitted fabric consumption in yards *36*fab.width*GSM / 1550 / 1000.

Conclusion:

Knit fabric consumption width always 2 inches plus from marker width. Always consumption fabric in their middle size. If buying house knitting fabric then wastage will be 10% – 15% & factory 5%. Count of thread if low GSM of this fabric will high.  GSM = Gram per Square Miter
