Application requirements
Convert an intended use into garment, size run and pack decisions. These purchasing scenarios are planning examples, not completed client projects.
Describe your programStart from a roster, age group and intended training use. Request a size chart with finished-garment points of measure and ask members to review the proposed fit sample. Record sleeve preference, seam positioning and artwork coverage before confirming pieces per size.
If an event imposes color or design conditions, the buyer should confirm the current event rules. A generic BJJ description is not a statement of competition acceptance.
Plan each colorway and size as an assortment decision. Compare label content, individual packaging, barcode needs and carton ratio as part of the requested scope. A lower minimum may suit a smaller launch, while a broader size run can change allocation and sampling work.
Keep product descriptions conditional until supporting records are reviewed. Do not turn a supplier's broad fabric claim into an unqualified retail statement.
Clarify whether the garment is sold, issued or used for a specific activity. Ask for material composition, requested fabric weight in gsm and the care information proposed for that construction. Intended use is a buying requirement, not evidence of durability or wearer protection.
Separate adult and youth quantities and identify who approves fit and labels. Reordering should reference the approved style and artwork revisions.
Distinguish a new cut from artwork applied to an existing style. A new pattern can change development scope; an existing cut may restrict panel shapes. Ask suppliers to price the actual route with sample, artwork and labeling charges shown separately.
Consider budget against customization depth and service scope. Neither a premium nor an economical preference establishes quality without item-specific review.
Sun-protection ratings, stretch behavior and colorfastness require appropriate evidence for the exact proposed item; none are asserted here. A family standard or unrelated report cannot settle those questions. A price that excludes packaging or freight is also not directly comparable to a delivered quotation.
Use the supplier comparison ledger to retain differences. The procurement article provides a fuller checklist.
