Wrong sizes are the most common problem on a bulk hoodie order, and the only one we cannot fix after the fact. Here is how Battle Born Clothing recommends collecting and distributing sizes.

## If you can collect sizes, do

A shared spreadsheet with name and size takes a week and removes the guesswork. We do not run online stores for clients; a spreadsheet, a group text or a sign-up sheet in the break room works. Send the totals with the quote.

## If you have to guess: size curves

| Order type | S | M | L | XL | 2XL | 3XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trade crew (mostly men) | 5 | 15 | 30 | 30 | 15 | 5 |
| Gym or studio merch | 15 | 30 | 30 | 15 | 8 | 2 |
| School or church (mixed) | 15 | 25 | 30 | 20 | 8 | 2 |
| Retail brand (unisex, slightly oversized) | 20 | 30 | 30 | 15 | 5 | 0 |

These are starting points from our own orders, not rules. Round toward L and XL if unsure; they are the sizes that get swapped least.

## Extended sizes

- Independent IND4000 and SS4500 run XS-3XL.
- Port & Company PC78H and PC90H run S-4XL.
- Gildan 18500 runs S-5XL.
- Carhartt offers tall sizes.
- Extended sizes may carry a blank upcharge; it appears on the quote.

## Youth

Port & Company PC78YH and Independent youth styles cover school orders. Youth and adult pieces count toward one quantity tier. Decorated kids' apparel has labeling rules; see https://battlebornclothing.com/blogs/custom-apparel-guides-screen-printing-embroidery-dtf-tips/cpsia-tracking-labels-decorated-kids-apparel.

## Fit notes by blank

| Blank | Fit |
|---|---|
| Independent IND4000 / SS4500 | Standard unisex, slightly roomy |
| Independent PRM4500 | Standard, softened by the wash |
| Port & Company PC78H / PC90H | Standard unisex |
| Gildan 18500 | Standard, slightly boxy |
| Comfort Colors 1566 | Relaxed, order true to size |
| Carhartt CTK121 | Loose fit; many wearers size down |

## Order a few extra

Two or three spare pieces in L and XL cover a new hire or a swap. They are priced at the same tier as the rest of the order.

## Questions
**Can we add sizes after we approve the proof?** Before production starts, usually yes. After, additions are a new order at the new quantity's tier.

**Do women's cuts exist?** Most hoodies here are unisex. The Independent IND280MOCK is a women's-cut mock neck; ask on the quote form for other women's styles.
