Garment costing is very complex process. It involves numerous number of activities associated with each product. It is very important task for garment merchandisers. Men’s long sleeve shirt or formal shirt is one of the most used dresses for men’s. So it is often ordered to garment manufacturers. In this article I will describe costing process for men’s long sleeve shirt (woven).
Measurement Chart for the Men’s Log Sleeve Shirt:
The measurement chart for the men’s log sleeve shirt is given below:
- Collar length – 17″, allowance – 4.5″
- Collar width – 2.5″, allowance – 1″
- Chest – 50″, allowance – 2″
- Center back length (CBL) – 33″, allowance – 1.5″
- Sleeve length – 36″
- Yoke length – 22″ (drop shoulder), allowance – 3″
- Arm hole depth (1/2) – 0.6″
- Cuff length – 9.5″, Allowance – 2.5″
- Cuff width – 2″, allowance – 0.5″
- Pocket – 6.5″ (allowance – 1.5″) × 5.5″ (allowance – 0.7″)
- Yoke width – 4″, allowance – 0.8″
Costing Process for Men’s Long Sleeve Shirt:
………………………………………………….[(CBL + allowance) x {(1/2)Chest + allowance)}] / 36
1. Fabric requirement for back panel = ————————————————————————–
……………………………………………………………………………………….44
…{(33 + 1.5”) x (25+2)} / 36
= ——————————————-
…………………..44
= 0.588yds
………………………………………[(Body length + allowance) x {(1/4)Chest + allowance)}] x 2/36
2. Fabric requirement for Front panel = ————————————————————————–
………………………………………………………………………………………44
…{(33 —1.25 + 1″) x (12.5″ + 2″)} x 2/36
= ————————————————————-
……………………..44
= 0.608 yds
………………………………………..{(Yoke length + allowance) x (Yoke width + allowance)}/36
3. Fabric requirement for Yoke = ————————————————————————————
……………………………………………………………………………………44
…(22″ + 3″) x (4+0.8)/36
=—————————————–
………………44
= 0.075 yds
………[(Sleeve length + {(1/2)of drop shoulder + 0.5″)} x (arm hole depth + allowance)] x 2
4. Fabric requirement for sleeve = —————————————————————————————–
…………………………………………………………………………36 x 44
…(36″ +11.5″) x (22 +1.2) x 2
= ———————————————–
………………..36 x 44
= 1.39 yds
………………………………………….{(Cuff length + allowance) x (Cuff width + allowance)} x 2
5. Fabric requirement for cuff = ————————————————————————————
………………………………………………………………………………..36 x 44
…{(9” + 2.5″) x (2 + 0.5″)} x 2
= ———————————————
………………36 x 44
= 0.036yds
………………………………….{(Pocket length + allowance) x (Pocket width + allowance)} x 2
6. Fabric requirement for Pocket = ———————————————————————————
……………………………………………………………………………..36 x 44
…{(6.5″ + 1.5″) x (5.5+ 0.7″)} x 2
= ———————————————————-
………………….36 x 44
= 0.062 yds
………………………………………..{(Collar length + allowance) x (Collar width + allowance)} x 4
7. Fabric requirement for Collar = ————————————————————————————–
……………………………………………………………………………….36 x 44
…{(17″+ 2.5″) x (2.5+ 1″)} x 4
= ————————————————————-
……………..36 x 44
= 0.172yds
8. Total Consumption for one Garment = 0.588 + 0.608 + 0.075+1.39 +0.036+0.062+0.172
= 2.931yds/garment
9. Total fabric consumption per dozen garments = (2.932 x 12) + 5% wastage
= 36.94 yds
Consider the cost of the fabric is $1 per yard, and then the calculation of the garment cost is given below.
Garment Costing of Long Sleeve Shirt (Woven)
- Fabric cost/dozen garments → 36.94 × 1 = $36.94
- Accessories cost/dozen garments → $7 (approx.)
- CM cost/dozen of garments → $10 (approx.)
- Sub total → $53.94
- Transportation cost (0.5%) → $0.27
- Clearing and loading cost (2%) → $1.08
- Overhead cost (0.5%) → $0.27
- Net cost → $55.56
- Profit (15%) → $8.33
- Net Free On Board price → $63.89
- Freight (4%) → $2.55
- Net C and F price → $66.44
- Insurance (1%) → $0.66
- Net CIF price → US$67.10
- Net CIF price/piece → US$5.59
