Calculate exactly how much fabric you need for a bespoke suit, sport coat, trousers, vest or shirt. Enter your measurements and get an accurate yardage estimate with a to-scale cutting layout.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Cloth & Chalk because I kept running into the same problem: the doubt of whether I was ordering too much fabric and wasting money, or not enough and having to go back for more. The calculator takes your body measurements, you pick the fabric width, and it gives you a yardage estimate broken down by shell, lining, and interfacing. It also shows a visual layout of how the pieces fit across the cloth. It covers suits, sport coats, trousers, vests, and dress shirts. An iOS app is also in review on the App Store, so I will be happy to share when it's live. Would love any feedback from the community, especially on accuracy. Tailoring formulas vary by tradition and I'm always looking to improve.

Does this account for things like pattern matching for stripes or directional prints, or is the yardage purely based on a generic cutting layout?
