Bring the important details
into the brief.

Different size labels can hide different measurements.

Start with a measurement chart for each fit and garment. Discuss men’s, women’s and youth sizing, a sample or size kit, measuring points and acceptable tolerances before approval.

Ask to review: an agreed size chart and garment measurement record.

A screen preview cannot establish the final fabric color.

Provide editable artwork, logo dimensions, placement instructions and color references. Discuss a physical swatch or test print when color matching is important, and identify the final approved proof.

Ask to review: an artwork proof alongside a relevant physical print.

A sample needs to establish what the bulk order will follow.

Agree which sample, fabric and construction specification will become the production reference. Confirm any changes in writing and discuss the checks needed during bulk production.

Ask to review: the approved sample and the same construction details in bulk.

Fabric feel and performance need more than a generic label.

Discuss composition, GSM, stretch, opacity and construction against the end use. Request available technical information and a swatch; agree only the properties supported by the material specification.

Ask to review: named fabric swatches and their technical specifications.

Names, numbers and separate garment sizes make team orders complex.

Prepare one final roster with exact spellings, numbers and jersey/bottom sizes. Agree set reconciliation, piece counts and packing-list requirements before production.

Ask to review: a redacted roster format and a packing checklist.

Approval, production and transit are separate parts of the schedule.

Share the required arrival date and destination first. Discuss artwork approval, sampling, production, dispatch and transit separately; confirm feasibility and how changes affect the schedule.

Ask to review: a project-specific schedule with estimates and approval dependencies.

A later add-on may involve a different material batch.

Include the previous order reference, approved artwork and fabric details. Confirm the current reorder minimum, available material and any color or swatch reapproval needed for a new batch.

Ask to review: original specifications against the proposed reorder.

Freight, samples or finishing can change the total cost.

Request a breakdown covering garments, decoration, labels, packaging, sampling and freight as applicable. Confirm currency, validity, payment milestones and responsibility for destination duties or taxes.

Ask to review: a written quotation with inclusions and exclusions.

Scattered revisions make it difficult to know what is final.

Agree a main contact, the channel for approvals, revision references and the update cadence for your project. Clarify who can approve a change and how to raise an urgent issue.

Ask to review: the latest specification and written approval record.

Private-label projects need more than a logo on a garment.

Bring label, hangtag and packaging specifications to the initial discussion. Confirm which options can be supplied and agree confidentiality and customer-relationship requirements before sharing sensitive files.

Ask to review: permitted label and packaging examples relevant to your brief.

An idea or image may leave construction details unresolved.

Share a reference, logo or tech pack and identify the details still to be developed. Discuss pattern, material and sample-development requirements before committing to bulk production.

Ask to review: the written brief, revision notes and proposed sample specification.

A concern needs traceable information and agreed terms.

Discuss inspection points and acceptance criteria with your quotation. If an issue arises after delivery, contact AAS with the order reference, affected quantities and clear photographs so the team can review it against the agreed specification and terms.

Ask to review: the agreed inspection requirements and order terms.

A successful trial still needs a separate bulk production plan.

Discuss trial quantities, sample approval and expected repeat demand. Our garment production is entirely in-house; project scheduling and order quantities must still be agreed against current availability.

Ask to review: a production plan matched to the approved specification and quantity.
