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,
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!
