How to use the Shirt Measurement Chart Generator

Every stitching unit and boutique needs a consistent size chart — otherwise a "large" from one tailor fits like another's "medium". This shirt measurement chart for tailoring in inches generates a graded S–XXL chart from your base medium chest size, with proportional length, sleeve, shoulder, and collar for each size. Print it, pin it at the cutting table, and every tailor on the floor cuts to the same numbers.

  1. Enter your base medium (M) chest size in inches — 38 is the standard.
  2. Set the rows to 5 for the classic S, M, L, XL, XXL range.
  3. Click Generate to build the full measurement chart.
  4. Check the chest column: each size steps 2 inches, centred on your M.
  5. Print the chart for the cutting master and keep one copy with order records.

Formula

Grading rule: chest steps 2" per size (S = M−2, L = M+2, XL = M+4, XXL = M+6). Proportional formulas: length = chest × 0.76 + 0.2; sleeve = chest × 0.65 + 0.3; shoulder = chest × 0.47 + 0.2; collar = chest × 0.42 + 0.1. These match standard South Asian ready-made grading.

Worked example

With M = 38" chest, the chart gives S(36): length 27.6", sleeve 23.7", shoulder 17.1", collar 15.2"; L(40): 30.6", 26.3", 19.0", 16.9"; XXL(44): 33.6", 28.9", 20.8", 18.6". A boutique can quote any size instantly instead of measuring from scratch each time.
