The sizes of sweaters (common size charts)

The sizes of sweaters

The sizes of sweaters:

There are two ways for determining the sweater size:

taking measurements: taking body measurements, considering the allowance. The person should wear underwear;
measuring the suitable.

Important: different brands have different standards of tightness, looseness and bulkiness of the sweaters. Common size charts may have up to 15 % inaccuracy.

The rules for taking measurements:

For determining the sweater size there are 2 main parameters that matter:

chest girth: measured by tailor's tape at the distance of 2.5 (cm) down from the armpits;
sleeve length: the length from the end of the shoulder until the wrist. 2.5 (cm) allowance should be added to the result.

Important: chest and neck girths are measured by a linen tape measure, that is tight to the body but not deforming the muscles.

Standard and nonstandard sizes:

It should be considered that the common size charts are made for standard body types.

When determining the size for a nonstandard body type, using the common size charts, the parameters of the sleeve length, chest girth and neck girth will be determined incorrectly.

Typical body types:

women: from 165 (cm) up to 172 (cm)height;
: up to 189 (cm) height, the chest is way bigger than the waist.

Important: the size charts for nonstandard body types have corresponding labeling.
