Allwood provides a nice analysis of a woven synthetic blouse in , along with technical assumptions in an annex. For one blouse, he estimates 33 MJ for material, 11 MJ for production, 3 MJ for transportation to sellers, 7 MJ in use, and -3 MJ for disposal (where heat is reclaimed through incineration). We include production and product transport in manufacturing, and we combine use and disposal into end-use.

The difference in end-use energy between the blouse and T-shirt is explained by lower temperature washing without any drying or ironing.
