What is a Measurement Chart for Washed Apparel, and How Does it Differ from a Size Chart?
As a professional custom manufacturer of washed T-shirts, hoodies, baseball jackets, and padded jackets, we understand the crucial distinction between garment measurement charts and size charts. Here's a clear explanation:
Garment Measurement Chart: A garment measurement chart shows the actual dimensions of our finished washed apparel, including T-shirts, hoodies, baseball jackets, and padded jackets. These measurements are taken at specific points such as shoulder width, chest circumference, garment length, sleeve length, and armhole. These measurements also include necessary allowances for comfort and movement.
Size Chart: A size chart represents standard body measurements corresponding to different sizes. These measurements are based on average body proportions and serve as a reference guide for customers to select their size.
Key Differences:
Garment measurements are typically larger than body measurements.
Standard ease allowances in our apparel include:
Shoulder Width: +1" to +2" for comfort
Chest: +1" to +2" for flexibility
Garment Length: +1" to +2" for movement
Technical Specifications: In custom apparel manufacturing, we use garment measurement charts as our primary technical document to ensure precise production and consistent quality across all sizes.
