From where to where is the 'Shoulder + Sleeve Length' measured on the size chart?

Size charts usually divide sections by body part into separate cells. However, this cell combines the two parts into one. Shoulder + sleeve length refers to the length measured without interruption by placing a tape measure at the end of the shoulder line next to the neck and extending down along the arm to the end of the sleeve.

In fact, on charts using this method, four values—XS 23.7, S 24.7, M 25.7, and L 26.7—are placed in a single row^[1]. Charts dividing parts by section look different. Based on size M, values are attached separately for each item, such as shoulder width 50.8cm, sleeve length 60cm, total length 75.5cm, and chest circumference 62.5cm^[2]. Some charts list only shoulder width as S 45cm, M 47cm, and L 49cm^[3][4].

Therefore, comparing the numbers from the two charts side by side is meaningless. This is because the starting and ending points of the measurements are different from each other. If you are curious about the arm length of a garment listed with combined measurements, it is more accurate to lay a well-fitting piece of clothing flat on the floor and compare by measuring it all at once in the same way from the shoulder end to the sleeve end.

hmmm, this single cell is read as a notation appearing in garments where it is difficult to pinpoint the shoulder seam. If the shoulder end slopes down toward the arm, the boundary separating shoulder and sleeve becomes blurred, so measuring continuously rather than dividing the two better conveys the worn length.
