초록

The purpose of this study is to classify size specifications of the Korean adult male for the men's ready-made garments, especially jacket and dress shirts. The concept of the comfort and fitness has become a major concern in the basic function of the ready-made garments. Data were collected by the real anthropometric measurement and by the photographic sources. Sample size was 1,290 subjects as the sample and their age range was from 19 to 54 years old by the stratified sampling method. 75 variables ( 66 variables from the direct anthropometric data and 9 variables from the multiplication method) in total were applied to analyze. ANOVA in SAS package was applied to the data and an expected frequency distribution of 10,000 men was calculated by the extraction of density function. Control dimensions for jacket and dress shirts are designated by Korean Apparel Sizing System (KS-K). Therefore this study is performed to classify size specifications by the control dimensions and at the same interval of KS-K. The drop The drop values of 15,12,and 9 has the high coverage rate of 22.1%,21% and 18.8% respectively and are composed of the majority of 61.9% of the subjects. According to the drop values,size specifications and distribution of control and reference dimensions are predicted. About 65.75% of the expected frequency distribution without stature were covered by 19 size specifications.
