What is Yardage in the Textile & Garment Industry?

Yard and Yardage is not same but similar type of measurement.

The yard is one of the length measuring units. In the textile business, this unit is used to measure the length of fabric in yards.

Example: A fabric roll holds 50 yards of fabric.

Yardage is the linear length of textile fabric necessary for the production of a single garment or textile item, regardless of the fabric width. During calculating yardage, fabric width must need to mention.

Example: 3 yards of fabric are needed to make a woven pant. This indicates that 3 yards of cloth (with a width of 36 inches) will be required for the pant.

Yardage is used to determine how much fabric is needed to construct custom clothing or to produce large quantities of garments.
