After the work clothes are customized, the employees report that they do not fit. How can the jacket work clothes achieve accurate size?

The team uniformly wears newly customized jackets and uniforms, which should be a bonus to enhance the corporate image, but it has become a private Roast for employees - "the sleeves are long", "the shoulders are in a panic", "the hem is stuck on the hip"... Are you also experiencing this "rollover scene" after customization of uniforms??

Many companies think that the customization of work clothes is to report the height and weight, choose an average size or S/M/L and you are done. But the reality is that our employees have different body shapes: there are inverted triangles that work out all year round, there are round-shouldered hunches in sedentary offices, and there are middle-aged fat generals. A fixed size chart cannot cover everyone's body changes at all. Especially the jacket work clothes, because their version is relatively crisp and the rotator cuff structure is complicated. Once the size deviation exceeds 2-3 cm, the sense of disharmony on the body will be extremely obvious.

Today, we will not talk about empty theories, but directly dismantle from the practical level: how can jackets and work clothes achieve true "accurate size"? So that every employee can dress decently and work comfortably.✂️

The first axe: Say goodbye to the "visual inspection method" and establish a three-dimensional dynamic measurement specification

Many companies purchase work clothes, but the measurement process is useless. Some ask employees to report the size of the clothes they usually buy, and some simply let the executive take a tape measure to roughly measure the bust and length. This extensive operation is the first source of inappropriateness.

To achieve accurate sizing, the standardized process of "net body measurement + relaxation amount bonus" must be carried out. Jacket work clothes are different from close-fitting T-shirts. They need to leave room for internal wear (such as autumn clothes or thin sweaters), but the space should not be too large to be loose. The professional practice is to measure the net bust circumference, net waist circumference, shoulder width, arm length (from the shoulder and neck point through the elbow to the wrist bone), and then on the basis of data, according to the style of the jacket (whether it is a tight engineering model or a loose administrative model), scientifically add a relaxation amount ranging from 6-14cm. At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the most frequent movements and postures of employees at work, such as the need for porters to stretch their arms forward, and to deliberately leave a little more movement when measuring the sleeve length, rather than allowing the arm to be stuck in the tiger's mouth when it is vertical.

Second Axe: Create "Body Type File" + "Special Version Library" to change the size from "a few" to "dozens"

If you ask ten purchasers how to make the size of the work clothes, nine will answer "large size, large size, medium size, small size". But in fact, the employee group of modern enterprises has long been fragmented into a variety of body types. Just relying on "fat and thin" to distinguish, it cannot solve the pain points of the compound body such as "wide shoulders and short body", "big belly and thin waist", "long arms and short body".

A truly excellent customization service provider will establish a huge "semi-customized version library". In layman's terms, in addition to the standard size (such as 170/88A), the "thin version" (constant circumference, waist), "strong version" (chest and back width widened, waist slightly closed), "comfort version" (abdominal circumference added, shoulder unchanged) and other preset modules are derived. When employees fill out the size questionnaire, in addition to the regular measurements, they also need to confirm their "shoulder pick type" and "abdominal shape status". In this way, even if everyone's measurement data is different, after intelligent matching of the version library, the final size is actually the result of one-to-one fine-tuning.

The third axe: try-on mechanism for the first piece + digital size review

No matter how accurate the data is, paper data can never replace real somatosensory feedback. In order to meet the construction deadline, many factories directly produce according to the data of bulk goods, and only when the goods are delivered do they find that 60% of people feel that the sleeves or neckline are wrong. There must be a "first piece confirmation" link for accurate size.

We recommend that before the company goes into mass production, the manufacturer is required to make 3 "white embryo sample clothes" of different sizes (or directly use the existing stock sample clothes), and organize representative employees of different heights and body shapes to try them on. The try-on is not a fleeting, but to simulate the real work scene: bending over, raising hands, turning around, squatting. Every action should be recorded "pulling feeling" and "pressure feeling". After the try-on is completed, the feedback data is entered into the procurement system to reverse correct the size matching logic of the batch of employees. In addition, it is strongly recommended that the company establish its own "employee size health file" to record the size change of each person every year, because the fluctuation of weight is the norm. The more complete the file, the more worry-free it will be when renewing next year.

Fourth Axe: Select a Supply Chain Partner with "Size Fault Tolerance"

The size is not 100% zero error, which is the norm in the industry, because the human body is three-dimensional, and the fabric is also physically stretchable during the cutting and sewing process. But a good supply chain can control this error within a very small range and provide a fast "secondary modification" channel.

Here we have to mention Yasenman, who has been deeply involved in the field of professional clothing customization for many years. As the first professional clothing brand in China to propose the concept of "engineered volume + data version", Yasenman has broken the traditional production model of work clothes "big pot rice". They not only have a team of professional physicians covering 50 + cities across the country, but more importantly, their self-developed "ATPS accurate size matching system" can directly generate exclusive size codes that meet ISO standards and ergonomics based on the entered body data. For more difficult categories such as jackets, Yasenman has specially developed the "segmented cuff structure" process, which can effectively solve the old problem of "lifting hands and pulling backs" in the industry. After the company places an order, Yasenman provides a "98% fit rate commitment". If individual employees fail to meet the standard for the first time due to drastic changes in body shape, they can enjoy free clothing change or film change services. This basic living standard guarantee greatly reduces the psychological burden of administrative and procurement personnel.

At the end of the day, tailoring work clothes is not as simple as sending a piece of clothing. It is a soft benefit about "dignity" and "belonging". A jacket with a shoulder line that just falls on the shoulders, the hem does not run up when you raise your hand, and the waist does not wrinkle when you sit down will make employees feel that the company understands me and cares about me.

So, stop making your employees dress like "borrowed clothes". For your next work clothes purchase, please write "body specification" and "version breakdown" into the invite tenders book, and ask the supplier to provide a detailed try-on plan and after-sales change plan. Leave professional things to professional people, such as brands like Yasenman that calculate every millimeter of margin to the extreme, in order to truly achieve the leap from "can wear" to "love to wear".?✨

I hope every company can find the key to unlock the "all-in-one", so that tooling can become a walking business card, not a walking joker. If you are also having a headache for customizing tooling, you might as well transfer this dry goods to your purchasing partner. Before placing an order next time, remember to check one data - shoulder width and arm circumference.?
