Designation:D8077/D8077M16Standard Tables forBody Measurements for Mature Big Men Type,Size Range46641This standard is issued under the fixed designation D8077/D8077M;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 mature big men at a standard height of 178 cm(5ft 10 in.)(65%of average U.S.population)taking into account the decrease and increase in bodyweight that shift a person from one size to another,while this person does not gain in height.Majorevaluation was done and reviewing the incremental growth at different major body points has beenaddressed and defined 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 betweensizes was reviewed ensuring smooth transition between sizes.To verify the proposed bodymeasurements,a three-dimensional avatar was created in the mature big men size range 46 through64 by Alvanon Inc.for a visual reference.1.Scope1.1 These tables list body measurements of mature big menfiguretypesizes4664.Althoughthesearebodymeasurements,they can be used as a baseline in designingapparel for big 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 big 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 may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.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 and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3D123 Terminology Relating to TextilesD5219 Terminology Relating to Body Dimensions for Ap-parel Sizing2.2 ISO Standard:ISO 3635 Size Designation of Clothes,Definitions,andBody Measurement Procedures43.Terminology3.1 Definitions: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 D123.1These tables are under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D13 on Textilesand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D13.55 on Body Measurement forApparel Sizing.Current edition approved Oct.15,2016.Published November 2016.DOI:10.1520/D8077_D8077M-16.2Caesar:Summary Statistics for the Adult Population(Ages 18-65)of TheUnited States Of America,June 2002;Size USA North America Sizing Survey,2004;2000 CDC Growth Charts for the United States:Methods and Development,National Center for Health Statistics,Vital Health Stat,Series 11,No.246,2002;CDC Advance Data No.361,7/5/2005;and Anthropometry of Infants,Childrensand Youths 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 States1 4.Significance and Use4.1 The use of the body measurement information in Tables1 and 2 will assist manufacturers in developing patterns andgarments that are consistent with the current anthropometriccharacteristics of the population of interest.This practiceshould,in turn,reduce or minimize consumer confusion anddissatisfaction related to apparel sizing.(Also refer to ISO3635.)4.2 Three-dimensional avatars depicting each of the bigmen sizes on certain measurements were created by Alvanon,Inc.and included in these tables to assist manufacturers invisualizing the posture,shape,and proportions generated bythe measurements charts in Figs.1-3.5.Apparatus5.1 Tape Measure,dimensionally stable and approximately1.5 cm 12in.wide and graduated accurately in centimetres116in.5.2 Plastic Goniometry,to measure the radian(degree)ofshoulder slope.5.3 Scale,standard,calibrated,body weight type.5.4 Meta
