Team polo shirt customization, what is the most troublesome problem? Not the color, not the logo, but the size!? A company has dozens of people, all tall, short, fat and thin. If you choose a small one, you can't wear it, and if you choose a big one, it looks like a burqa. Today's dry goods will teach you how to solve the size problem, so that every employee can dress well and decently.

First, why is the standard size always "rolled over"?

Many administrative ladies want to save trouble and place an order directly by S/M/L/XL. What is the result?

Thin employee: The clothes are empty, like stealing adult clothes.

Sturdy employee: The button is so tight that it is difficult to lift your hand.

Tall employee: The length of the clothes is not enough, and the waist is exposed as soon as you bend over.

The root cause: ready-to-wear sizes are designed for standard body types, and in the real workplace, body shape differences are far greater than imagined. Especially custom polo shirts, once the size is wrong, not only will it be uncomfortable to wear, but also it will greatly reduce the team image.

Two or three steps to solve the problem of large differences in employee body shape

The first step is to collect real data in advance

Don't ask employees "what size are you wearing", ask them directly to report their height, weight, shoulder width, and bust size. If conditions permit, use a soft ruler to measure the net bust and shoulder width for the most accurate data.?

You can create an online form for everyone to fill out. Note: Wear close-fitting clothing when measuring, not a thick coat, otherwise the data will be too large.

Step 2: Adopt the "Flexible Size Strategy"

Don't just choose one size, but choose 2-3 main sizes according to the data distribution, followed by a small number of special sizes.

For example:

- Height 160-170cm, weight 55-65kg → M size is the main one

- Height 170-178cm, weight 65-75kg → L size is the main one

- Height above 178cm or weight above 80kg → XL/2XL size

Key point: The bust and shoulder width of the polo shirt are more important than the length. Leave 4-6cm loose in the bust, and the shoulder width should just fall on the edge of the shoulder. If the employee's shoulder is particularly wide, it is recommended to choose one size larger separately.

Step 3: Find a professional customization company to do the "code division plan"

If the staff's body shape is too different, such as having a special body (especially fat or especially thin), the ordinary size chart is not enough. At this time, finding a reliable customization company is very crucial.

Like Shenzhen Yasenman Apparel Co., Ltd., when they customize polo shirts, they will provide free body measurement services and give exclusive size suggestion tables based on the body shape data of the company's employees. Even if there are only 20 people, they can achieve one size for each person, and they can be repaired if they don't fit.?

3. 3 pit avoidance guides for customized polo shirt sizes

1. Don't just look at S/M/L, look at the specific centimeters

M size from different manufacturers may have a bust size difference of 5cm. Be sure to ask about the size of the ready-to-wear, not a general size.

2. Choose elastic fabrics

Pearl cotton, Lycra cotton and other fabrics have micro-elasticity and are more tolerant of body shape. Especially for employees, the body shape is stronger, and the elastic fabric is more comfortable to wear.

3. Reserve shrinkage rate

The pure cotton polo shirt may shrink by 2-3cm after being launched into the water. When customizing, tell the manufacturer to reserve shrinkage space, or choose pre-shrunk fabrics. Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. will take the initiative to remind this before customization to avoid becoming smaller after washing.

IV. Employees vary widely in size, the ultimate solution



If the company has a large number of people and a large size span, the most worry-free way is to place an order in batches.

Specific operation:

- First count the height and weight of all employees and divide them into 3-4 body types.

- Choose one representative from each section to try on the sample clothes and confirm the tightness.

- Finally, place an order according to the interval, and note separately for special body types.

This can ensure the fit rate without increasing too much cost. Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. supports small batch code customization, even if each code is only 5 pieces, it can arrange production, which is very suitable for team procurement.

V. Summarize

The core of customizing the size of polo shirts is three points: the data should be true, the size should be divided into grades, and the manufacturer should be professional. It is not terrible for employees to have big differences in body shape, but it is terrible to use "one size thinking" to cover everyone.

Remember: a well-fitting polo shirt is the first step to team image. If you are worried about the size of your employees, you may wish to contact Shenzhen Yasenman Garment Co., Ltd. They follow up from the measurement to the shipment, so that you can save worry and effort.?
