Basic T-Shirt Fabric Consumption Calculator: Pounds and Yardage

ByAnik Yusuf Hours Updated:

To calculate the required fabric weight and yardage for a basic t-shirt(knit), you need to insert the following values. Since the allowances for different parts are subjected to individual preference, we have included that field separately as well.

However, you can use the following values as a standard practice:

  • Body Length Allowance = 2.5 inches
  • Half Chest Length Allowance = 1.75 inches
  • Sleeve Length Allowance = 1.5 inches
  • Half Biceps Allowance = 0.8 inches
