How to Collect Team Shirt Sizes
Use the chosen garment’s size chart and a versioned quantity list so that names, sizes, colours and branch totals remain clear.
Choose the garment reference first, use its actual size chart and collect all quantities in one list. An S, M or L label is not a universal measurement across suppliers, cuts or styles.
Start with the right size chart
Ask for the chart that belongs to the proposed garment model. Check whether chest figures mean the width of a laid-flat garment, its circumference or a body measurement. Do not compare unlike measurements directly.
A familiar shirt can be useful as a reference if it is measured using the same method. The diagram here shows the idea of width and length only; it is not a MIREN product chart and gives no size dimensions.
Separate people from the final quantity summary
Use fields for branch or department, garment reference, colour, size, quantity and design variation. Collect only information needed for the order; avoid putting unnecessary staff personal details into files shared with suppliers.
Keep an internal name-to-size list if needed, then send the supplier a clear quantity summary. Resolve uncertain responses before approving the total rather than guessing what a wearer meant.
Confirm a version and check changes
Put a date or version on the list, add a total and appoint one coordinator. When a colleague changes size, update the summary as well as the individual record so both totals remain aligned.
Ask whether stock and quotation need rechecking after changes. Keep the agreed model and size chart with the order reference for future top-ups; a replacement garment may use a different chart.
