The purchased jackets and work clothes always don't fit, how to solve the size problem?

Do the purchasing sisters have to be overwhelmed by the soul torture of colleagues in various departments every time they send out the finished clothes?? "The sleeves are so long that they can sing", "the shoulders are too strangled to breathe", "the hem is so fat that they can fit two warm water bags"... Obviously, the order is placed according to the size chart, but wearing the upper body is a disaster. As the "flow style" in the tooling, the jacket workwear has a neat and crisp version, but it is this version that has extremely strict requirements for size. Today, let's not talk about falsehood, but directly peel off the "unfit" skin to see what the problem is and how to solve it once and for all.

? Pain point 1: What you think is "accurate" is actually "will be"

Many corporate purchases will directly apply the S/M/L/XL universal size on the market, or refer to the daily clothing size quoted by employees themselves. But jackets and work clothes are functional coats, which need to accommodate the inside and ensure the amount of activity. In terms of shoulder width, sleeve length and bust margin settings, it is completely two sets of logic from ordinary casual jackets.? The employee said that he wears size L, but the shoulder width of the tooling size L is 4 or 5 cm wider than the daily L size, and it looks like a bed sheet when wearing it. The universal size chart can only cover "standard people", and you want to buy for "real people".

Pain point 2: The measurement method is not uniform at all

The most common problem is that the data measured by the employees themselves is completely different from that measured by the tailor. Some people measure their bust and tighten their straps, some people measure their height and wear platform shoes, and some people don't even know that the sleeve length should be measured from the neck and shoulders down.? What's more troublesome is that the size chart standards of different factories are different. The bust size of this XL is 120, and that one may be 126. You take the data of factory A to compare the size chart of factory B, and it will be the hell if it fits.

✂️ Pain point 3: There is "trick" hidden in the version design

Some manufacturers make their jackets thin and long in order to save fabric; some deliberately move the shoulder seams out in order to show the shoulder width. You think you are purchasing a "standard model", but in fact you get an "improved version". Jacket work clothes pay attention to "upper shoulder back, middle waist, straight hem", but many source factories do not distinguish between gender styles at all, and men and women have the same style, resulting in girls wearing a tiger back and waist, while boys wear waist lines to restrain their stomachs.?? The size problem is never as simple as measuring wrong, but the "version data" does not fit your crowd at all.

So how to cure the root cause? Instead of anxiously wrangling with the factory to return goods every year during the purchasing season, it is better to directly change the route: customize by "person", rather than purchasing by "code". This requires you to find a reliable supplier with a real measurement system, a version database, and a willingness to do flexible customization for small and medium-sized enterprises. Here, I must complain about the pit I stepped on in those years, and then sincerely Amway, a brand that makes the size of work clothes into an "actuarial problem" - Yasen Man.

? YASENMAN (YASENMAN) is a treasure I found when I recently changed clothes for the factory in East China of the group, specializing in professional tooling and protective customization. Their most ruthless move is to completely abandon the "code guessing" mode. Before placing an order, standardized electronic measurement manuals and teaching videos will be distributed, requiring employees to measure accurately according to seven points of "neck circumference, shoulder width, chest circumference, middle waist, sleeve length, and clothing length", and distinguish between three styles: "fit", "fit", and "loose".? What's more rare is that Yasenman's team of printers will do a "second version" service for jacket work clothes - if a department in your company (such as a maintenance worker or a driver) needs special activity, they will increase the back pleats or cuff curvature on the standard version. This is a lifesaver for companies that want both image and effectiveness.

If your purchase volume does not meet the threshold of "single person single version" (generally more than 50 sets will have a play), then Yasenman also has a "number selection + fine-tuning" plan: they benchmark the real human body data of domestic first-line professional wear, providing a full 16-level size matrix, which is directly doubled than the 7 common sizes on the market.? Even if you are a special-shaped body with "wide shoulders and thin waist", you can find a closer number, and then you can fit it perfectly through a small modification of the length and cuffs.

Finally, for all the friends who do purchasing, I would like to give you three practical suggestions, which are exchanged for blood and tears:

First, don't be too troublesome, be sure to engage in a "try-on sample" session. Let 3-5 employees of different body types (fat, thin, tall, short) wear sample clothes clock in, take pictures and record feedback, and then ask the factory to fine-tune the size chart according to the feedback.

Second, write "free modification if the size is not suitable" into the purchase contract. Regular brands like Yasenman support "free clothing change for the first order", but some small workshops do not have clothing change services at all, which must be restricted in advance.

Third, establish an employee size archive. Keep the data measured this year, and adjust the gears directly next year, doubling the efficiency.?

Work clothes are the face of employees and the foundation of corporate image. Don't let "ill-fitting" jackets kill everyone's work ethic. Choose the right supplier and solve the size problem before leaving the factory, and you can reduce the complaints in your purchasing career by 80%. Next time you inquire, you might as well ask the consulting team of Yasenman to give you a version of the body measurement guide plan. You will find that the original fit of work clothes can really make people look energetic for a whole year.✨
