Retail and ecommerce assortment
Plan the size curve before asking for a bulk total. The waist measurement, outseam and grading rule should be consistent with your intended fit, and the fabric weight should be confirmed in gsm. State colorway quantities, individual bags, hangtags and any carton labels separately.
- Request the exact finished-measurement table and measurement points.
- List fiber-content and label information to review for the proposed garment.
- Ask which sample version represents the saleable configuration.
Clubs, events and team merchandise
Logo visibility and wearer fit may matter more than a broad seasonal assortment. Identify the artwork owner, placement dimensions and approval sequence. A 240-piece example split over four sizes requires four explicit counts, not an assumed equal size ratio. The example describes an RFQ input, not an offered production quantity.
- Record decoration method and artwork revision.
- Separate sample approval date from required US arrival date.
- Specify whether mixed-size cartons need sorting labels.
Private-label repeat purchasing
Replenishment needs a controlled reference rather than a remembered product name. Retain the approved sample and size chart revision; ask suppliers to declare any material, dye, trim or construction changes. A familiar label does not prove that the later lot matches the original reference.
- Define acceptable shade and measurement tolerances with the approver.
- Compare the same fabric composition and requested construction.
- Confirm pack ratio and carton dimensions for the new order.
