How to Measure

The purpose of this manual is to provide direction on how to measure

adidas product The information provided in this manual is meant

to provide a basis for measuring and does not reflect every case or

possibility

When a special case arises, the PCT pattern maker will provide

detailed information to the factory regarding how to measure

•For example, if there is a side insert and there is no “true” underarm

point, it is difficult to use the standard “2.0 cm below the armhole”

measurement In this case, the PCT pattern maker will provide a

measurement distance from the hem If nothing is provided in the spec,

then the factory should contact PCT with a suggestion It is important

that the factory and PCT work together on finding the best solution for

measuring special cases.

Importance of accurate measuring:

It is very important that garments are measured correctly

If a garment is not correctly measured, this can negatively affect

fitting and the adjustments made:

•For example: A garment has a hem width spec of 110.0 cm The garment

is incorrectly measured at 108.0 cm but the garment actually measures true

to the spec at 110.0 cm During the fit session, it is decided that the garment

is too big at the hem opening The PCT pattern maker makes an adjustment

(believing that the garment measures 108.0 cm) and adjusts the spec

to 106.0 cm The factory makes this adjustment and the next sample is too small If the garment had been measured correctly, the PCT pattern maker would have made the correct spec adjustments Now PCT will have to adjust the hem opening again to achieve the correct fit

• ACCURATE MEASURING IS CRITICAL!
