Poor sizing is the most common and expensive mistake in uniform programs. Garments that do not fit end up unworn, and rush reorders blow the budget. A structured measuring process fixes this. Here is how to size your whole team accurately before you commit to bulk quantities.
Use a physical sizing set
A sizing set of sample garments circulated across your team lets everyone try before ordering. It surfaces fit issues no size chart will and is by far the most reliable way to get sizes right, especially across varied body shapes.
Record sizes per employee
Capture each person’s size against their name so reorders and new starter kits are accurate. This record becomes one of the most valuable assets of a well run program.
Offer genuine fit options
Provide tailored and relaxed fits and an extended size range. Real fit choice dramatically improves adoption and reduces complaints, wastage and rush replacements.
Key takeaways
- Circulate a physical sizing set before ordering.
- Record each employee’s size for accurate reorders.
- Offer real tailored and relaxed fit options.
