What is the type number

The number type is an indicator indicating the basic size of a garment, that is, the size of a garment. No.: refers to the height of the human body and is the basis for designing and choosing the length of clothing. Type: refers to the human body's bust or waist circumference, is the basis for the design and purchase of clothes fat and thin, clothing to the body's chest and waist difference to divide the body type, chest and waist difference as the name implies, is the difference between the same body bust and waist circumference, national standards The body type will be divided into Y, A, B, C four categories, see the following table (unit: cm).


National Standard

At present, China is currently using the clothing type standard is - GB/T 1335.1-2008 "clothing type. Men", GB/T 1335.2-2008 "clothing type. Women"; GB/T 1335.3-2009 "clothing type .child".

The mark type identification requirements in the national standard are as follows: the upper and lower mountings are marked with the type number, and the numbers and type are separated by diagonal lines, and the body type code is also connected. As in the above-mentioned 175/96B, 175 represents a number, 96 represents a type, and B represents a body code.

According to the national standard GB/T1335 description, A body type is the most widely covered population, accounting for 39.21%; Y body type is thin, accounting for 20.98%; B body type is slightly fat, accounting for 28.65%; C body type is overweight, accounting for 7.92%. However, since the standard-dependent mass data was collected from the 1980s, the country did not conduct a wide range of human data collection. Therefore, the data cannot fully reflect the current physical distribution of human body in China.

The differences in altitude, climate, ethnic groups, diet, and living habits have great influence on the differences in body shape among different regions. The variation in body size in different regions caused by differences in economic development in various regions in China for the past 30 years has also been different. In the northern part of the male body size is 175/96B, while in the south is 170/92A, Yunnan and Guangdong and even smaller areas.

The number system reflects the positioning of a brand on the target customer base. The research depth of the type number can determine whether the brand is a regional brand or can cover the whole country or even the world. Some leading brands in the industry attach great importance to the data research of target customers in different regions. For example, outdoor brands - Pathfinder, underwear brand - Aimu, fashion brand - Ya Ying, etc. have invested a lot of human and material resources to collect customer data and conduct in-depth study of consumers. A rigorous number architecture was created for its own brand.


Individual category number

Although the national standard requires that the clothing type sign be done in accordance with the law of height + bust (waist) + size, there are still some categories with special marking methods:

1. Pants (inches) - Some brands are marked by the waist in inches plus the inch in inches. For example, GAP pants: 34/32 means that the waist is 34 inches and the length of the pants is 32 inches. Of course, there is a simple way to specify the value of a waistline in inches, but this is a lot more extensive.

2, shirt type (centimeter system) - some shirt brands will use the shirt to mark the centimeters of the surrounding, such as 40,41,42,43,44......

3, suit jacket (inch system) - some brands use the human body's net chest in inches as its number system, such as 48,50,52 ...

4, bra class (centimeter system) - lower chest size + cup type, the difference between the upper and lower chest determines the cup type. The difference between the upper and lower chests is about 10 cm in A-cups; 12.5 cm in B-cups; 15 cm in C-cups; and 17.5 cm in D-cups. The upper bust refers to the size measured horizontally through the milk point, and the lower bust refers to the size measured one week below the milk level. 70A is of course a flat chest, and 90D is a burst breast.

5, children's wear category (centimeter system) - Most children's clothing brand type identification by the number of + type, individual brands in the market segment type identification by the number + type + body code. Such as pants 140/60, number 140, type 60.

6, outdoor clothing category (centimeter system) - some outdoor brands according to public habits in the standard number type added a letter, such as Pathfinder men's medium type is 175/96BL.
