Formula

Fabric (m) = (kurta length ÷ 39.37 + sleeve ÷ 39.37) × width factor + 0.35 m allowance. Width factor: 1.2 for 44" fabric, 1.0 for 58". Gaz = meters × 1.09361. Example: 40" kurta + 23" sleeve on 44" fabric → (1.016 + 0.584) × 1.2 + 0.35 = 2.27 m (2.48 gaz).

Worked example

A 42-inch kurta with 24-inch sleeves on standard 44-inch fabric: (42 ÷ 39.37 + 24 ÷ 39.37) × 1.2 + 0.35 = (1.067 + 0.610) × 1.2 + 0.35 = 2.36 meters, or 2.58 gaz — so buy 2.75 gaz to be safe. On wide 58-inch fabric the same kurta needs only 2.03 m (2.22 gaz).
