Abstract: The study compares the material cost of producing plus size men’s shirts compared to standard size men’s shirts. The approach used in this study involves using an Excel spreadsheet to analyze the prices and compare the costs to find any major price discrepancies between plus size and standard size. The study discovered that from S to 5XL; the amount of fabric consumed increased steadily. As a result, each size now includes one button every time the size increases for each shirt. Additionally, each size received an average of 0.2 to 0.4 more yards of sewing thread than the smaller size. Therefore, the increase in price from standard to plus size men’s shirts was verified due to the certain percentage of increase in the materials of producing the shirts.
