Tour outerwear only earns its place if it is on the merch table for the first show, which means the order goes in before rehearsals do.
Stand kit that arrives the day before the show is a gamble you only lose once, so trade show jackets get ordered a month and a half out.
GSM is the single number that tells you most about how a jacket will feel, but on outerwear it needs reading alongside the construction.
A jacket is the one garment people wear something else under, so the fit you order has to account for what goes beneath it.
A brand colour that looks right on a screen and on a cotton tee can land somewhere else entirely on a bonded softshell.
Outerwear has fewer usable flat areas than a t-shirt, and the seams, pockets and zips decide most of your placement options for you.
Most branded jackets are ruined by a tumble dryer rather than by wear, and the care label is the cheapest insurance you can order.
The neck label is the one part of a jacket a customer checks to decide whether it is your brand or somebody else with your logo on it.
Jackets are bulky, so how they are packed decides how much of your storeroom disappears and how long the sort takes on arrival.
Ten minutes of checking on the day a jacket delivery lands is worth more than any amount of complaining a fortnight later.
A first jacket order has six stages, and only one of them has a fixed duration, which is why the other five decide your delivery date.
Vague briefs get vague quotes, and the gap between the two numbers is usually discovered at the worst possible moment.
Two jacket quotes can differ by a third and still describe the same garment, because the difference is in what each one includes.
The unit price is the number people quote each other, and it is rarely more than two-thirds of what a jacket order actually costs.
Retail price is not wholesale cost with a multiplier stuck on it, because everything between the carton and the customer costs money too.
Ordering fifty jackets is the easy part; getting the right one onto the right person without three follow-up emails is the real work.
Site jackets are bought on cost per season rather than cost per piece, and the two numbers point in different directions.
Site crews need jackets before the weather turns, which means ordering during the part of the year when nobody is thinking about it.
A site jacket order that follows a standard size curve will leave you with unworn smalls and a waiting list for the large sizes.
Embroidery holds longest on a woven shell, DTF is the safer choice on a quilted puffer, and the logo position matters as much as the method.
A £150 sample is the only way to judge a work jacket on fit, zip quality and how the stitching behaves before fifty of them are cut.
A repeat jacket order is easy if the first one was documented. Here is what to write down, and why dye lots are the thing to watch.
Jackets are quoted rather than list-priced. Here is what sits inside the number, and how ordering once instead of twice changes it.
Production is 10 to 15 working days from approval. The part that catches people out is everything that happens before the clock starts.
Sizes mix freely inside the fifty-piece minimum, so the only question is what curve to order. Outerwear is not the same curve as tees.
An office jacket is worn in front of clients, so restraint beats coverage. Embroidery is usually the right answer, but not always.
Fifty jackets is a visible commitment. A single costed sample is the cheapest way to find out whether people will actually wear it.
A repeat jacket order should be a quantity conversation, not an artwork one. That only holds if the first order was recorded properly.
Gym staff kit is washed harder than almost any other branded clothing. That single fact should decide most of the specification.
School orders have two immovable features: a fixed term calendar and a name list that changes right up until it cannot.
Front of house and back of house wear the same brand but not the same garment. Ordering them as one spec is the usual mistake.
Site clothing is specified for the job, not the catalogue. Layering, wear points and logo placement decide whether a crew actually wears it.
A club order has more stakeholders than any other. Sponsors, coaches, parents and a committee all have a view, and the season will not wait.
An office programme is judged on what happens in month nine, when a new hire needs kit and nobody remembers what was ordered.
An event date does not move, so every decision in a crew kit order is really a decision about the calendar.
Every pound spent on kit is a pound not spent on the cause, so a charity order has to earn its place in the budget.
On the road, crew kit and merch do different jobs. One has to work at four in the morning, the other has to sell.
Colour work destroys clothing. A salon order is really a decision about what you are willing to replace and how often.
A staff programme is a second product line, not a raid on retail stock. Here is how clothing labels spec and cost one at the 50-piece minimum.
Hotel uniforms live in an industrial laundry rotation, which changes almost every decision. Here is how to spec and count a hotel order.
Small teams and fast turnover make cafe uniforms a counting problem before they are a design problem. Here is how to make 50 pieces work.
Society kit is a budgeting and timing problem more than a design one. Here is how committees get 50 pieces ordered without carrying the cost.
Retail and resale buyers need a size curve that sells through and a restock rhythm that holds. Here is how a uniform programme is built to do both.
Agencies buy uniforms against a client budget and a client deadline. Here is how to quote, spec and schedule a branded kit order.
The per-piece price of a uniform order is set by quantity first and decoration second. Here is the whole structure, tier by tier.
Fifty pieces per design, sizes mixed however you like. The complication is what counts as a design, and this post works through it.
The production window is 10 to 15 working days. Everything that makes a uniform order late happens before that clock even starts.
Fabric decides how a uniform ages more than the decoration does. Here is how to pick a cloth that survives the way your team actually works.
