Scale for Men

Just as the line of the clothing must balance with the body line, so must the scale.

Scale is the combination of height and bone structure. Your scale is judged by the overall size of your skeleton and by features such as your nose, ears, mouth, wrists, hands and feet. Defined as fine, average or grand, your scale dictates the size of patterns, the weight of fabrics and the amount of texture that you can wear. It may not be the same for all of your body.

Fine Scale

  • Chest size: up to 97cm(38in)
  • Collar size: up to 37cm (14 ½in)
Average Scale
  • Chest size:97-112cm(38-44in)
  • Collar size: 37-42cm(14 ½-16 ½ in)
Grand Scale
  • Chest Size: Over 112cm(44in)
  • Collar Size: Over 42cm (16 ½ in)
This is just a generalisation you may not fit one type perfectly.
