34、, make measurements at the following locations asshown in Fig. 5.FIG. 1 Collar 5D4231 143FIG. 2 PocketD42311447.3.3.1 Chest WidthWith shirt closed, measure across front of shirt 25 mm (1 in.) below functional armhole seam (A to A,Fig. 5). Take the measurement from edge to edge, not seam to seam, mak
35、ing sure top and bottom are smooth and free of wrinklesand creases, and record.FIG. 3 PlacketFIG. 4 Diagram of Shirt ComponentsD4231 145NOTE 3For the total chest girth, double the chest width measurement.7.3.3.2 Waist widthWith shirt closed, measure across front of shirt at narrowest point (B to B,
36、Fig. 5).
