Custom Sizing & Measurement Development
Custom Clothing Size Guide & Measurement Specification
Retail size names and UK, US or EU conversions vary between brands. Florix Sports manufactures from the approved body measurements, finished-garment measurements, grading rules and tolerances for each project.
Manufacturing rule: the approved sample and final measurement chart control bulk production, not a generic online conversion chart.
Step 1
Record Body Measurements Correctly
Use a flexible tape, keep it level and measure over light clothing without pulling it tight. Record the units used. For children's garments, use actual height and body measurements rather than age alone.
Shoulder and Sleeve
Agree the shoulder start point and measure to the cuff over a slightly bent elbow.
Inside Leg
Measure from the crotch point to the required trouser hem.
Step 2
Define Finished-Garment Measurements
Lay a suitable reference garment flat without stretching it. State whether each value is a half width or full circumference.
| Point | Method |
|---|---|
| Half chest / pit to pit | Across from underarm seam to underarm seam. |
| High-point shoulder to hem | From the shoulder-neck point to the finished hem. |
| Sleeve length | State whether the start is the shoulder seam or centre back. |
| Waist relaxed / stretched | Measure the waistband flat at rest and at the agreed safe stretch. |
| Rise, inseam and outseam | Measure each point separately and identify exact start and finish. |
| Leg opening | Measure the hem flat and state relaxed or stretched. |
Step 3
Approve Grading Rules and Tolerances
A compression top, oversized hoodie, tailored jacket and youth uniform require different grading. The final chart should identify units, measuring method, relaxed or stretched state, size-to-size increments and allowed tolerance for every critical point.
Base Size
Choose the sample size used to develop the first pattern.
Grade Rule
Approve how measurements change between sizes.
Tolerance
State acceptable tolerances for measurements and logo placement.
Step 4
Develop and Approve the Intended Fit
Compression, regular, relaxed, oversized and team-uniform fits require different ease, stretch and movement allowances. Approve the physical sample, measurement chart and grading before bulk production.
