Pole sleeves confuse me!

Let's say I have a 1.5" pole - what size should that pole sleeve be when it's flat? I'm thinking that 3" would be good but I suck at math and would really like to hear from you guys. I also think I'm taking something that's probably pretty simple and WAY overthinking it!
:banghead:

1.5" x 3.14" / 2

add a little so it's not too tight.

3" (flat) should be fine, might even be slightly loose.

Or if you suffer from Math Deficiency Syndrome...MDS you can wrap a piece of anything around your pole, lets say a string or a piece of vinyl, mark it and add a bit more, depends on how tight you like it.

That's how I used to do it but I can't do that in my new job. We work mostly with textiles (nylon, polyesters) and we have a sewing dept so I'm not sure exactly how they sew the pole pockets. We were told recently to start specifying the flat sleeve measurement in our orders and the size is kinda up to us. I just want to make sure that a 3" flat sleeve will be large enough for a 1.5" pole to easily slide in to. Thanks!

Once you have the circumference...couldn't you just divide that number in half to get your flat measurement, plus some wiggle room? Sometimes I feel like the blind leading the blind...can't be the only one...LOL

here is a quick excel calculator

Just be sure to change the pole size, hem size, and slack and the other 2 calculate.
