How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Neck Circumference = 15.5, Collar Style = 0, Seam Allowance = 0.625 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Band Length
    Band Length
    18 = 18
  3. Calculate Collar Style
    Collar Style = style.name
    Standard Collar = Standard Collar
  4. Calculate Stand Height
    Stand Height = style.height
    1.25 = 1.25
