Abstract
Most apparel products have national standards for sizing; however, for gloves, national sizing standards have not yet been established. This study aims to analyze children''s hand dimensions and propose a size specification for children''s gloves that shows children''s hand-related size information. Among the 3D measurements of sixth Size Korea Project, the measurement data of 19 dimensions related to the hands of 1,057 boys and girls aged 7-13 years old were analyzed. The distribution and growth trend of hand measurements for boys and girls demonstrated considerable mean differences and distribution trends by gender and age as per hand dimensions, which leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to show these results in the children''s glove design. Based on these results, the cross-distribution maps of children''s hand length and hand circumference were drafted; furthermore, the distribution relationship with an adult hand size was identified. Based on the distribution of hand sizes, the distribution of adult hand sizes overlapped with children''s hand sizes was verified, and children''s glove size specifications were presented. The results can be used as useful data such as measures for setting the size range and sizing system for children''s gloves.
