“…Three-dimensional body scanning technology is a promising way to improve apparel fit and size issue with mass customization (Senanayake and Little, 2010; Sohn et al , 2020). Mass customization can benefit plus size target market once their body shape scrutinized by the industry (Hudson and Hwang, 2020).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to explore body shapes among overweight and obese men and examine fit issues based on the current ASTM sizing standards related to the categorized body shapes.Design/methodology/approachThe SizeUSA data and the additional data extracted using the ImageTwin (TC2-19) software were used. To categorize body shapes, principal component (PC) analysis with varimax rotation, hierarchical cluster analysis for an elbow method and K-mean cluster analysis were employed. Comparing the categorized body shapes and ASTM sizing charts, a cross-tabulation was performed to test associations between fit analyses for top and bottom for the body shape groups. Furthermore, an analysis of variance and pairwise comparison were performed to identify differences in mean values of size drops between two body parts across the different body shape groups.FindingsUsing a three-dimensional (3D) body scanning technology and 3D virtual avatars, three body shapes for overweight and obese men emerged: Rectangle-curvy, bottom hourglass-hip tilt and top hourglass-straight shapes. Further, overweight and obese male consumers are not likely to find a perfect fit from apparel companies who developed their sizing charts based on the men's and big men's ASTM standards. Notably, the big men's ASTM sizing standard did not work for most overweight and obese men the United States.Originality/valueDespite the notable increase in the US population that is overweight and obese, most overweight and obese men have had fit problems due to the differences in their body shapes as compared to the standardized body shape used in the current sizing system. The results of this study suggest apparel companies who are targeting overweight and obese male consumers in the United States updating their sizing systems in order to solve fit problems.

“…3D body scanning technology is revealed to be an innovative tool for future tailors and men's wear industry, especially targeted at young male consumers. Study revealed the potential for the use this technology for menswear apparel construction [28]. Precision of 3D Body scanning technology have been studied by Romeo in 2017 [29] by using four different infrared depth sensor machines: Fit3D Proscanner; Styku; TC2 KX-16; and Size Stream.…”

The study aims to explore the 3D Body scanning mobile application Nettelo to determine mechanism, precision and level of acceptance of application for mass-customisation of garments. The mix-methods (Quantitative and Qualitative both) approach has been conducted to determine the responses of Pakistani consumers. Participants' responses have been analysed with try-on bespoke garments constructed by digital measurements extracted from 3D body scanning mobile application. Bespoke garments are well established and commonly utilised by consumers of Pakistan [1]-[3]. Additionally, Pakistani fashion brands are famous for selling and designing unstitched apparel products which are economical and sustainable, to be used as a personalised tailored garment [1]-[3]. However, traditional body measurement technique has been used to construct garments, which is a major obstacle to establish globalise mass-customised garments business using e-commerce fashion platforms. To extract digital human measurements for garments customisation, high and low-tech 3D body scanning mobile applications are available to both IOS and Android users [4]. In addition, these web 3.0 technologies virtual size and fit tools and 3D body scanning technology have the potential to enhance the fashion e-commerce environment for online bespoke apparel shopping. The reliability of 3D body scanning technologies has been evidenced in various studies [5]-[8]. The unstitched apparel product is famous in South-Asian countries, especially Pakistan has one of the biggest unstitched apparel industries with diversity in style, designs, and price range [9]. The growth of 3D body scanning technology and virtual size and fit to enhance the consumer satisfaction level with sustainability in terms of bespoke garment construction is the most promising e-commerce fashion business model under development presently [10], [11]. 3D body scanning mobile applications have the potential to initiate globalise mass-customisation in fashion e-commerce Industry.

“…However, this study focuses on skirt and slacks [2]. Jae-Min Sohn et al explored the potentiality for men's jacket in mass customization in terms of fit and dimensions, they developed systematic approach for testing apparel fit by 3D body scan and virtual try-on technology, whereas this study pay attention on whole appearance of jacket without consideration of specific parts of jacket like armhole and sleeves [3]. More deeply all criteria of fit evaluation were considered in last year publication, V E Kuzmichev show the result of how to get well-designed and well-fitted clothing [4].…”

Good fitting sleeve is an important criteria of clothing quality, on the one side, the process of sleeve assembling is very complex and time consuming on the other side, the purpose of this study is established the database of pattern block parameters and the algorithm of fit evaluation by means of special criteria through virtual try-on and subjective assessment, which allow to predict wearing effect before sewing. In order to make results obtained convenient, automatically evaluation of torso and sleeve pattern blocks is implemented by Python. Therefore, this study can help to develop CAD of classical women jackets in terms of designing and production.
