Known Measurements (men) — GOST 17521-72

The classic menswear measurement set, ready in one click. This product adds the full GOST 17521-72 set of standard male body measurements to Tape, the companion measurement app for Valentina, as a ready-to-use, known measurements database.

GOST 17521-72 — Standard body shapes of men. Size measurements for clothing design — is the Soviet/Russian standard that defines typical male figures and the measurements used to design menswear. Instead of typing each measurement name, full name, and description by hand, you select the list once and Tape fills in everything for you, correctly named and linked to its measurement diagram.

What's inside

• 62 standard male body measurements, each with its short code, full name, and a description taken directly from the standard.
• Anatomical diagrams are embedded in the file, so every measurement shows exactly where and how it is taken.
• Measurements are organised into the standard's seven groups:
    - Heights — 18
    - Diameters — 7
    - Lengths, distances, and arcs — 15
    - Girths — 17
    - Widths — 3
    - Distance between centres — 1
    - Other — 1

Why you'll want it

• Consistent, standard-compliant naming across every pattern and every measurement file.
• Faster setup — add a whole group of measurements in a few clicks instead of entering them one by one.
• No guesswork — the embedded diagrams and descriptions show precisely how each measurement is defined.
• Less manual work — measurements with a formula are calculated automatically from other measurements.
• Works with both individual (.vit) and multisize (.vst) measurement files.
