Thanks to an impassioned entreaty from Natalie (of the CTDA, I am guessing), I managed to track down the elusive source of the Perkins Tailoring Devices.<\/p>\n

The concept behind these devices are not new- this shoulder incline device dates to 1934
\n\"slope\"<\/a>
\nand this one was developed in Russia in the 70s
\n\"Lachman\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These, however, only measure the slope of the shoulder. The full; kit of Perkins devices also include in incline device to measure the prominence of the shoulder blades, a rise device to measure for trouser rise, a sleeve device to measure from the pit of the arm to the wrist or the tip of the thumb, a device known as a trouser length\/low shoulder device which is intended to also capture the estimated 15-20% of people whose shoulder is low at the collar edge and not merely at the shoulder point.<\/p>\n

I haven’t used most of the devices so I can’t say much about them other than that they could make standardization simpler, particularly where stores are communicating measurements to factories for MTM programs.<\/p>\n
