Ideally would like the best colour match available if spending out - so would be good to see what you come up with first Jim.
How many yards of material on average is required for a tank suit? NB - May also be prepared to buy a bolt of material if it's a case of too much material and not enough orders... depending on the per yard material cost. Tim |

Tim,
Thanks for the offer. Most "bolts" of fabric tend to be 25 yards long(but can be up to 100 yards), and of varying widths. A "roll" is really whatever the mill sets up. If we ordered the minimum of 250 yards that Irfan has mentioned, that would be delivered on a tube or roll. Approximatly 5 yards for suit. In production, you can tuck pieces from garment No2 inside the area of Garment No1, so there is some economy in a production run. He has mentioned 250 at US$ 6.00/yard, but keeps trying to push that minimum up to 300 or 500 yards. I wish he had a roll of his own.. I would just order yardage and make my own crewsuit! |
