Men's Body Measurements

Measurements for Size
Definition According to GOST 17522-72
1. Height
Measure from head
to floor.
2. Chest III
Around the
biggest part of bust. The bust measurement is taken by placing a measuring tape
over the back, underneath the arms and then over the highest point on the bust.
3. Waist
Measured
horizontally at the thinnest part of the torso.
Measurements for Patterns
Calculation
* Full circumferences of the torso are divided
by two: only half of the measurement is input into the programm.

Measure from head
to floor.

tape measure or piece of string across the back under the arms and measure down
from the neck bone (7th cervical vertebra point) to the centre of the tape.
14. Back Length
Measured
vertically from the 7th vertebra point along the spine to the waist level.
Before taking this measurement, a tape should be tied around the waist to mark
the waist position.
15. Sholder Slope Back
The
shortest distance between the point where the spine and waist lines cross to the
shoulder point (Humeral).
16. Back
Width*
Measured horizontally, the tape is placed over the
shoulder blades between back underarm points (Posterior axillary fold).
17. Shoulder Length
Measured
from the neck base point to the shoulder point.
18. Torso Position
Measure
by the two mutually perpendicular rulers across from the neck point up to the
vertical plane, a tangent to the shoulder blades' points.
19. Arm Length
Measured on
the outer side of the arm, from the shoulder point to the first thumb joint.
20. Arm Girth
Measured
horizontally around the thickest part of the arm. The top edge of the tape
touches back underarm point.
21. Wrist
Wrap the tape
measure around the wrist.
22. Waist to Floor on
Side
Place the start of the tape at the side of his waist level to the
navel. Stretch the tape down the side of the leg until you reach the top of the
heel on your customer's dress shoe.
23. Waist to Floor in
Front
Measure from the center front waist point to the floor.
24. Thigh
Thigh -
circumference measure at the widest point.
25. Inseam
Measure from the
crotch intersection to the floor.
26. Grotch Depth
Crotch
depth is sitting on a hard surface and measuring from the waist down to a
surface.
