Tips for Buying Apparel

Guidelines for Group Buying and Size Selection

You can increase your revenues by reducing what you buy by using the following tips.

Purchasing for Men: Men should order any style that is marked as Adult. Adult golf-cut models fit heavier-built men better in general.

Purchasing for Ladies: Women’s sizes are available in styles designated as Ladies. Choose a size lower than what the women on your squad would wear in ladies’ sizes if they prefer men’s or adult styles.

Purchasing for Groups: To estimate how many shirts you’ll need in each size when shopping for a group, use the charts below, which provide a general percentage.

Just multiply the total number of persons in your group by the percentage shown in the chart for each size to calculate your buying amounts by size.

These are just general suggestions, so use them simply as a starting point to figure out the required numbers. Group sizes might vary greatly from one another.

Fit Guide

Adult Sizes

Chest – Measure around the upper body, over the largest section of the chest, and under the arms with your arms down by your sides.

Neck – To measure comfortably, place one or two fingers between the tape and the neck at the base of the neck.

Waist – Measure the waist at the height at which pants are typically worn, making sure the tape is loose enough for comfort.

Sleeve – Put hands on your hips. Measure across the shoulder, to the elbow, and down the wrist starting at the middle of the back of the neck.

Inseam – Measure the inseam of a pair of pants that closely resembles your chosen style and length. Measure from the hem to the crotch seam.

Adult Sizes

Bust – Measure across the upper body, underarms, and bust fullest area while keeping your arms down at your sides.

Waist – With the tape kept pleasantly loose, measure around the natural waist.

Hips – Place your heels together and take a measurement around the hips’ largest area.

Sleeve – Put your hand on your hip. Measure across the shoulder, to the elbow, and down the wrist after starting at the middle of the back of the neck.
