Equation:

P= (L + allowance) x (W+ allowance) 4

Here,
P= Fabric Consumption for pant
L= Length of the out seam measurement including waist band= 40, Bottom hem seam allowance = 2’’; Waist band seam allowance= 1’’; Sewing allowance= 1’’

W=Thigh width= 13’’, inseam allowance =1’’, out seam allowance= 1’’.

Let’s have a calculation for body fabric:

Fabric consumption for trouser / dozen = (L + allo ) x (W + allo) 4 x12

= (40 + 4) x (13 + 2) 4 x 12 sq. inch

= 44 x 15 x 4 x 12 sq. inch

= 2640 x 12 Sq. Inch = 31680 sq. Inch

Fabric consumption for pocketing:

Here,

L = length of the pocket = 10’’

W= Width of the pocket = 6’’

= {(L+ 1) X (W+1) X Number of pockets} X 12

= {(10 + 1) X (6 + 1) X 3} 12

= (11 X 7 X 3) 12

= 2772 sq. inch

Total fabric consumption / dozen = (31680 + 2772) = 34452 sq. inch
If we consider the width of fabric = 60 inch
Then marker width = 59, therefore

Fabric required = 34452/ 59 = 584.02 inch/ dozen

= 584.02 / 36= 16. 22 Yds. / Dozen.

Total fabric consumption with waste percentage:

=16.22 yds. / Dozen + 8 % wastage

= 17.51 yds. / Dozen.

Result: 

Total fabric consumption 17.51 Yds. / Dozen of trouser
