Abstract
Customers purchasing souvenir T-shirts in famous tourist sites in Korea are mainly foreigners. Nevertheless, these T-shirts are manufactures according to Koreans' body shapes or manufactures' own size system. Moreover, sizes are labelled only by domestic norms. The purpose of this study is to suggest global standardized size for T-shirts, which will provide more precise size information for customers. For this, sizing standards including KS, ASTM, JIS, and EN were surveyed and were compared. And souvenir T-shirts were collected in the tourist resort and the sizing systems and labels were analysed from them. Finally, we proposed a sizing system and labelling as an international standard for souvenir T-shirts.
