Designation:D8241/D8241M19Standard Tables ofBody Measurements for Young Men Type,Size Range 32 481This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8241/D8241M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThese body measurement tables were developed from evaluation of data currently used in theapparel industry.These tables were developed from data published by the U.S.Department of Commerce;the CaesarStudy;the Size USA Study;current U.S.industry;and studies,scans,and documentation fromAlvanon Inc.2These tables take into consideration young men at a standard height of 178 cm 5 ft 10in.(65%of average U.S.population)taking into account the decrease and increase in body weightthat shift a person from one size to another,while this person does not gain in height.Major evaluationwas done and reviewing the incremental growth at different major body points has been addressed anddefined identifying increase and decrease at different rates in specific areas:chest/bust,waist,high hip,and hip/seat.Additionally,to serve the industry better,incremental movement between sizes wasreviewed ensuring smooth transition between sizes.To verify the proposed body measurements,athree-dimensional avatar was created in the young men size range 32 through 48 by Alvanon Inc.fora visual reference.1.Scope1.1 These tables list body measurements of young menfiguretypesizes32-48.Althoughthesearebodymeasurements,they can be used as a baseline in designingapparel for young men in this size range when considering suchfactors as fabric type,ease for body movement,styling,and fit.1.2 These tables list body measurements for the completerange of young men sizing.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system are not necessarily exact equivalents;therefore,toensure conformance with the standard,each system shall beused independently of the other,and values from the twosystems shall not be combined.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3D123 Terminology Relating to TextilesD5219 Terminology Relating to Body Dimensions for Ap-parel Sizing2.2 ISO Standard:4ISO 3635:1981 Size Designation of Clothes,Definitions,and Body Measurement Procedures3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.55 on Body Measurement forApparel Sizing.Current edition approved Jan.1,2019.Published January 2019.DOI:10.1520/D8241_D8241M-19.2Caesar:Summary Statistics for theAdult Population(ages 18-65)of the UnitedStates of America,June 2002;Size USA North America Sizing Survey,2004;2000CDC Growth Charts for the United States:Methods and Development,NationalCenter for Health Statistics,Vital Health Stat,Series 11,No.246,2002;CDCAdvance Data No.361,7/5/2005;and Anthropometry of Infants,Children andYouths to Age 18 for Product Safety Design,May 31,1977.3For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.4Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1 3.1.1 For definitions relating to body dimensions,refer toTerminology D5219.3.1.2 For definitions of other textile terms used in thisstandard,refer to Terminology D123.4.Significance and Use4.1 The use of the body measurement information in Table1 and Table 2 will assist manufacturers in developing patternsand garments that are consistent with the current anthropomet-ric characteristics of the population of int
