What is Basic Consumption of Men’s T-Shirts?
Basic Consumption of men’s t-shirts refers to the amount of fabric required to produce one dozen men’s t-shirts. It is calculated based on the length, width, and GSM (grams per square meter) of the fabric used in manufacturing.

How to Use the Men’s T-Shirt Consumption Calculator?
- Enter the length of the t-shirt (in centimeters) in the “Length” field.
- Enter the width of the t-shirt (in centimeters) in the “Width” field.
- Enter the GSM (grams per square meter) of the fabric in the “GSM” field.
- Click the “Calculate” button to determine the consumption per dozen (CPD) in kilograms.
- Click the “Refresh” button to reset the calculator and enter new values.
CPD (Consumption Per Dozen) for Sleeve:
✓ Length = 25 cm (Sleeve Length) + 5 cm [In Sleeve Hem Sewing Allowance = 3 cm (Seam Allowance = 2 cm + Sewing Allowance 1 cm) + In Armhole Sewing Allowance = 2 cm]
= 30 cm
✓ Width = 20 cm + 20 cm = 40 cm (Armhole) + 3 cm (In Side Seam Sewing Allowance = 1.5 cm + 1.5 cm)
= 43 cm
CPD = L×W× GSM x 12 /1,00,00,000 Kg
=30 × 43 × 2 ×170 x 12 /1,00,00,000 kg
= 0.53 kg (Two Sleeve)
CPD (Consumption Per Dozen) for Neck (Rib):
If Body & Sleeve Fabric is 165 170 GSM then
Neck (Rib) Fabric will be (165~170 GSM + 40
GSM) 215~220 GSM
– Length = 21 cm + 21 cm = 42 cm (Neck) + 3 cm [Sewing Allowance (Seam Allowance = 2 cm + Sewing Allowance =1 cm)] = 45 cm
Width = 2 cm + 2 cm = 4 cm (Height) + 3 cm [Sewing Allowance (1.5 cm + 1.5 cm)] = 7 cm
CPD (Consumption Per Dozen) for Neck (Rib):
CPD =L×W× GSM x 12
/ 1,00,00,000
=45 x 7 x 220 x 12 /1,00,00,000 kg
= 0.083 kg
= 0.1 kg (Neck)
- Generally 100 gm/dz Fabric Used for Round Neck (Rib) and 150 gm/dz Fabric Used for V-Neck (Rib).
- Total Consumption = (1.67 kg+0.53 kg+0.10 kg) + 5~ 7% Add for Wastage = 2.41 kg

CPD (Consumption Per Dozen) for Garment (Body + Sleeve):
- Length = 77 cm [{72 cm (HPSL) + 5 cm (seam/sewing allowances)} + 30 cm {25 cm
(Sleeve Length) + 5 cm ( seam/sewing allowances) x 2}]
= 137 cm
- Width =100 cm (Chest) + 6 cm (seam/sewing allowances)
= 106 cm
CPD =L x W x GSM x 12 /1,00,00,000 kg
=137 x 106 x 170 x 12 /1,00,00,000 kg
= 2.96 kg
= 2.96 kg + (7% to 10%) of 2.96 [excess for wastage]
CPD (Consumption Per Dozen) for Collar & Cuff:
1) Collar (Per dz = 12 Pcs)
2) Cuff (Per dz = 24 Pcs)
3) We can use 400 gm (Collar) + 300 gm (Cuff) = 700 gm Fabric for per dz polo Shirt
4) Generally on an average 700 to 750 gm/dz Fabric used for Collar & Cuff (Include Wastage).
Collar (400 gm)
Cuff (300 gm)
Total (700 gm)
Application of Basic Consumption of Men’s T-Shirt Calculator:
This calculator is useful for textile manufacturers, designers, and apparel businesses to accurately estimate the amount of fabric needed for producing men’s t-shirts in bulk. By using the CPD calculation, manufacturers can optimize fabric usage, reduce waste, and improve production efficiency, leading to cost savings and sustainable manufacturing practices.
