How do find out the collar measurement?

If you have no idea that, what will be the collar length of your Polo shirt. Then pls follow the below instruction.

At first you need the following information :

i) Neck width of the polo shirt. (Suppose it is 22 cm)  
ii) F/neck drop. (Suppose it is 4 cm)

Rule:
= (((Neck width + Neck drop ) X 2) -3)-12.5%

= (((22+4)X2)-3)-12.5%

= ((26X2)-3)-12.5%

= ((52)-3)-12.5%

= (49)-12.5%

= 42.9 cm

       Fabric width   -  45"
       Fabric Weight -  0.49181 kg

Rules:

Fabric length  =  Fabric weight / ( Fab width X Fab GSM /1550 / 1000)

Fabric length  =  0.49181 / ( 6300 / 1550 / 1000)

Fabric length  =  0.49181 / 0.00406451612

Fabric length  = 121" (where the fab width is 45" open)

Farbic length  = 3.3611 yards    (121/36")
