A collection needs more than a single good fit sample. Tops, trousers and outerwear each need measurement rules that preserve the intended silhouette across sizes and finishes.
Name the base size and how each point is measured. Half-chest, across-shoulder and body length need fixed start and end points; photos help avoid conflicting interpretations.
Sign off a measurement sheet with units, diagrams and tolerances before grading.
Do not carry one size increment through every dimension or category. Rise, sleeve, shoulder and leg opening affect fit differently, especially for relaxed or cropped silhouettes.
Review a size set or agreed boundary sizes and document changes against the base pattern.
Washing, pressing and fabric relaxation can change measurements. State whether the size chart describes the unfinished garment or the ready-to-ship product.
Measure samples after the agreed finish and repeat the check on production garments.
Founder, merchandiser, or sourcing manager comparing a China factory for custom menswear instead of blank-stock wholesale.
Hoodies, tees, denim, cargos, jackets, and seasonal streetwear drops that need sampling before bulk.
The buyer has a tech pack, reference photos, target quantity, fabric direction, and a launch window to confirm.
These are the details a factory needs before discussing MOQ, sampling, lead time and production scope.
A shared size naming system can cover the collection, but garment measurements must reflect each silhouette and category. A fitted tee, oversized hoodie and jacket need different ease allowances and measurement points.
Provide the reference, fit photos, intended changes and size range. Ask for pattern and specification development as a quoted step. The resulting measurement sheet should be approved before the reference becomes a bulk standard.
After the base fit and material/finish direction are stable, review the size set before bulk cutting. If a wash or fabric change alters the fit, update the measurement and grading record rather than relying on the earlier sample.
MOQ is 100 pcs. Samples take 7 days. Bulk production lead time depends on order quantity.
Include references, quantity, fabric target, color count, logo files, packaging notes and the delivery window.
