A length measurement taken from the center back of the neck across the shoulder line to the end of the sleeve
CB (Center Back) sleeve length is a measurement taken continuously from the center back of the neck, past the shoulder point, and down to the end of the sleeve cuff. In traditional Korean clothing or tailoring terminology, it is also called 'hwajang.' It is used to determine the total sleeve length extending from the back of the neck to the wrist, regardless of the shoulder seam position.

It is mainly used to indicate the sleeve length of garments that lack a shoulder seam or do not have it in the standard position, such as raglan sleeves or drop shoulders. It is also commonly used in detailed size charts for outerwear like shirts, jackets, and coats.
When choosing
Because its reference point differs from standard sleeve length measured from the shoulder seam, the values should not be compared directly. You can compare it against size charts by measuring the length from the center of your back neck bone, across the elbow, and down to the wrist bone.
