1.1 These tables list body measurements of big boy’s regular figure Type sizes 7 through 20. Although these are body measurements, they can be used as a baseline in designing apparel for boys regular in this size range when considering such factors as fabric type ease for body movement, styling, and fit.

1.2 These tables list body measurements for the complete range of big boy’s sizing.

1.3 The values stated in either acceptable SI units or inch units shall be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

4.1 The use of the body measurement information in Tables 1–2 will assist manufacturers in developing patterns and garments that are consistent with the current anthropometric characteristics of the population of interest. This practice should in turn reduce or minimize consumer confusion and dissatisfaction related to apparel sizing. (Also refer to ISO 3635 Size Designation Procedures).

4.2 Three-dimensional avatars depicting each of the big boys’ sizes on certain measures, were created by Alvanon, Inc. and included in this standard to assist manufacturers in visualizing the posture, shape, and proportions generated by the measurements charts in the accompanying Tables. (See Figs. 1–4.)
