Abstract

This study attempted to analyze the upper-body shapes of adult men aged from 30 to 59 involved in the 7SUPth/SUP SIZE KOREA Project and to provide basic data for designing jacket patterns by age. This study analyzed a total of 53 measurement items, including 47 direct measurements and six calculations were analyzed, using SPSS 25.0. According to the analysis, beginning the late 30s, a bending body shape was observed, beginning in the late 30s. The belly started to get thicker in the late 40s. Until the early 50s, the upper body looked plain. To account for such issues, the neck point to breast point to waistline should be set to ‘waist back L. + (7-11 mm)’ when designing jacket patterns for men in their 30s, while interscye (front) should be ‘interscye (back) + (33-37 mm)’ when creating jacket patterns for those in their 40-50s. Factor analysis uncovered five different categories: horizontal size of torso, torso height and length of upper limb, shoulder size, length of the upper body, and shoulder angle. Based on such classification, cluster analysis was performed. In Type 1, an obese body type with average height was observed, while a tall slim shape was found in Type 2. Type 3 revealed a tall body shape with a large waist and abdominal circumference. Type 4 was characterized by a short body shape with a small chest and hips. When classified by age, a tall and slim body shape was most common from the early 30s to early 40s. On the contrary, in the late 40s, a short body shape with small chest and hips was most common. Also, an obese body shape with average height and a tall body shape with a large waist and abdominal circumferences were mostly observed in the early 50s and late 50s, respectively.
