Calculate Collar length for Polo shirt

In apparel industry, garments merchandiser need to develop knitted polo shirt. For developing polo shirt, we need to measure correct collar size to make the photo shirt. So, we can say that garments merchandiser need to know correct way to measure collar measurement for sample development or bulk production. If any mistakes come in development stage, then garments merchandiser must be correct those mistakes before start the bulk production. Otherwise factory will face huge lose for lack of communication between internal department.

Collar Length calculation for Polo shirt
Before we start to calculate collar measurement, garments merchandiser should find out the below requirement information for calculating correct collar length;

  • Neck width of the polo shirt
  • Neck drop front
There are many ways to calculate collar length:
Option-1: Collar Length calculation = [{(Neck Width + Neck drop front) X 2 - 3} - 12.5%]
Suppose, A polo shirt has Neck width 13.75 cm and Neck drop front 6 cm. Now we need to find out collar length of polo shirt.

Solution: Collar length calculation = [{(Neck width + Neck drop front ) X 2} - 3] - 12.5%
                                                  = [{( 13.75 + 6 ) X 2 }- 3 ] - 12.5% 
                                                  = [39.5 - 3] - 12.5%
                                                  = 36.5 - 12.5%
                                                  = 31.94
                                                  = 31.5 cm 
Finally, we have found the result, we need 31.5 cm length for this polo shirt. For bulk production, merchandiser need to check with technician for smooth production. 

Option-2: Collar Length calculation: {(Neck width + Neck drop front) x 3} / 2
                                                  = {(13.75 + 6) x 3 } / 2
                                                  =29.63
                                                  = 29.5 cm or 29 cm

Note that, for collar length calculation we always used minus tendency. Because we can't reduce collar length after getting the final collar pcs. So, make sure that your collar length should be fit for the garments. For bulk secure, don't forget to re-check with garments technician.
