The Design and Development of Military Clothing. Part 2. A Shirt Range Based Upon Anatomical Measurements,

Abstract

From the 1980 survey of the clothing related anatomical measurements of men in the Australian Army (CRAMS), those dimensions related to dress shirts are compared to the dimensions of the current in-serve shirt. It is concluded: that the current size roll could be rationalized to provide shirts which fit a greater proportion of the population; that, especially for the larger collar sizes, the in-service shirt range is too large in both waist and chest; that the in-service shirt is too long; and the cuff circumference of the inservice shirt is too large. Based upon these findings, it is recommended that a modified set of shirt dimensions should form the basis of a redesigned shirt, and that this redesigned shirt should be manufactured and trialled.
