Abstract:
Ready-made garments are popular because
of readily availability in the retail shops. Ready-made
garments production requires standard measurement
for each age group which depends on anthropometry.
Measurement of ready-made garments varies on the
anthropometry of a nation. The goal of the study was to
develop a measurement chart and identify the size ratio
and color preferences of both male and female young
adults of Bangladeshi origin which is not in literature. A
different point of measurement along with their heights
of 409 males’ and 356 females’ young adult for the Tshirt was taken. Based on height, the male and female
young adults were categorized into five sizes (S, M, L,
XL, and XXL). It is found that the size ratio was around
S: M: L: XL: XXL = 6: 32: 37: 18: 7 and 17: 30: 34: 13:
6 for male and female respectively. Proposed standard
measurement of Length from highest point of shoulder,
Centre front length, Armhole, Sleeve length, Neck
width, Across shoulder, Half chest and Hem Width for
size L for male is 68 cm, 63 cm, 23 cm, 19.5 cm, 21 cm,
44 cm, 49 cm and 49 cm for respectively. Preferences of
color are quite wide of both male and female, most
preferred color is blue among the male and black among
the female. Two-third female adults preferred short
sleeve t-shirt. Brands that are targeting to retail their Tshirt in the market of Bangladesh can use developed
measurement sheets for the bulk production of T-shirt.
