Arcello Sleeve Measurements 

Notes on Calculations

• Percentages:

• Balanced Fit: Target 25% length, 12.5% width—rounded to clean numbers (e.g., M: 26%L and 13%W for 7”L x 6.5”W).

• Muscle Cut: Target 40% length, 20% width—slight rounding (e.g., M: 42%L for 5.5”L).

• Rounding: Adjusted to 0.1” increments for practicality (e.g., 6.375”L → 6.4”L, 6.5625”W → 6.5”W). Percentages reflect the rounded cuts.

• Fabric: The 8% spandex adds ~0.5” stretch to width (e.g., M Muscle Cut: 6”W stretches to ~6.5”W), ensuring fit across arm sizes.

95-5 Oversized Tee: Sleeve Customization Percentage Rationale

The "Arcello" oversized tee offers three sleeve customization options—Oversized Flow, Balanced Fit, and Muscle Cut—designed to cater to diverse style and fit preferences. The percentage cuts for Balanced Fit (25% length, 12.5% width) and Muscle Cut (40% length, 20% width) were carefully selected based on customer insights, wearability testing, and alignment with Indian activewear trends. Below is the reasoning behind these choices:

Balanced Fit: 30% Length Reduction, 15% Width Reduction

• Purpose: The Balanced Fit aims to bridge the gap between the loose, relaxed aesthetic of an oversized tee and a more tailored silhouette suitable for casual wear or light activity.

• Length (30%): Reducing the sleeve length by 25% (e.g., 9” to ~6” on a medium) shortens it to just above the elbow, minimizing excess fabric while retaining a comfortable, non-restrictive feel. This creates a cleaner look without compromising the oversized vibe.

• Width (15%): Trimming the width by 12.5% (e.g., 8.5” to ~7.2” on a medium) narrows the sleeve opening slightly, reducing floppiness for a neater appearance. It maintains breathability, ideal for India’s warm climate.

Muscle Cut: 40% Length Reduction, 20% Width Reductio

• Purpose: The Muscle Cut targets customers seeking a fitted, athletic look that highlights arm definition, perfect for gym-goers or those wanting a bold style.

• Length (40%): A 40% length cut (e.g., 9” to ~5.5” on a medium) creates a short, sporty sleeve that sits well above the elbow, emphasizing a toned appearance without resembling a tank top.

• Width (20%): Reducing the width by 20% (e.g., 7.5” to 6.2” on a medium) contours the sleeve closer to the arm, enhancing muscle visibility while ensuring comfort via the fabric’s stretch.

• Rationale: These percentages strike a balance between a snug fit and wearability, avoiding overly tight designs that might deter broader appeal. Testing confirmed the cuts complement Indian body types and active lifestyles, with the spandex blend providing flexibility.

Design Philosophy

The percentages were finalized after iterative prototyping and feedback from users, prioritizing comfort, style, and personalization. The 30%/15% for Balanced Fit offers a subtle refinement, while 40%/20% for Muscle Cut delivers a distinct, confident edge—both preserving the oversized tee’s core appeal. These choices ensure the Arcello tee feels tailored to individual preferences, setting it apart in the activewear market.
