Understanding Product Size Charts

Also called spec sheet or PoM chart (PoM = Point of Measure), the size chart is a synthesis of the essential measurements of your garment. It’s a key support for the pattern maker in generating patterns for the garment. This chart undergoes regular updates during the process to identify any inconsistencies and necessary modifications following the initial sample.

It's an essential part of the tech pack for every garment.

On Rechain PLM, the size spec of your product is available in the “Measurements” tab of your product.
