From academy uniforms to retail size runs, align the garment, artwork and quantity before requesting factory wholesale quotes.
Before prices become comparable
Request fiber content, fabric weight in gsm, sleeve length and seam arrangement for the proposed style. A photograph cannot establish stretch recovery, abrasion behavior or a sun-protection rating. If a performance claim matters to your program, request exact-item test evidence and review its scope before repeating it.
Separate body measurements from finished-garment dimensions. Ask which points of measure, units and tolerances the supplier uses. An adult size run, youth range and close-fitting competition cut should be priced and sampled on their stated patterns rather than treated as interchangeable.
List panel coverage, colors, logos and label requirements. Compare a printed sample with the approved artwork revision and fit sample. A screen image is an artwork reference; it does not confirm production color, seam alignment or performance after use and care.
Give pieces per size and colorway, individual pack needs and the US delivery location. Ask whether samples, artwork preparation, labels, cartons and freight are included. A lower unit price can reflect omitted work or a different pack ratio, so preserve those differences in the quote ledger.
Record participants by size, training activity, sleeve preference and artwork ownership. Confirm any event-specific design conditions with the relevant organizer. We do not infer competition acceptance from a product name.
Map the programKeep SKU, colorway, label and pack counts separate. Ask for a documented size chart before planning the assortment. A sample in one size does not establish grading across the whole range.
View inquiry configurationsIdentify the approved cut and decoration method before comparing development charges. Keep requested changes visible so a similar existing style is not silently substituted for the intended garment.

Add target timing, an optional budget with currency and per-piece or whole-order basis, and a premium, mid-range, budget or undecided supplier preference. These are buying priorities, not verified supplier ratings. Quotes, availability and timing require supplier confirmation.
