Unisex, Men's, Women's and Youth Sizing in Custom Apparel

A size label is not a universal body measurement. Fit blocks vary between brands, garment types and intended wearers. DSS handles product selection, artwork, proof approval and production online, then ships completed orders Australia-wide.

What affects the result

Unisex garments can simplify ordering, while separate cuts may improve fit for some teams. Youth sizing introduces another chart and should not be guessed from adult labels.

Decisions to make before approval

• Use the exact chart for each selected garment

• Compare chest, length and sleeve measurements

• State whether measurements are body or garment dimensions

• Try representative samples when practical

• Explain the chosen fit to every wearer

Lock the garment range first, then collect sizes against its charts. DSS can provide the relevant supplier information before the order closes.

A mistake worth avoiding

Copying the previous order's labels into a different garment can produce widespread fit issues.

How to approach the order

Lock the garment range first, then collect sizes against its charts. DSS can provide the relevant supplier information before the order closes. The specification should be agreed before payment and production, with changes recorded in one approved proof or order summary.

Information DSS needs

• The exact product or garment being considered.

• The total quantity and complete size or colour breakdown.

• Vector artwork where available, or the best existing logo file.

• Every decoration position and the preferred finished look.

• Delivery postcode and required date.

• Use the exact chart for each selected garment

Frequently asked questions

Is there one option that suits every business?

No. The right product depends on the audience, use, quantity, artwork, budget and deadline. A practical recommendation needs the whole brief.

Can DSS coordinate everything online?

Yes. The brief, quote, artwork review, proof approval and production communication can be managed online, with delivery across Australia.

Should a sample be ordered?

A sample is especially useful for a new fit, fabric, construction, colour or complex custom product. For a familiar stock item, supplier information and a clear proof may be enough.

Start with a clear brief

Send DSS the product idea, quantities, artwork, delivery location and deadline. The job can then be matched to a sensible production method without unnecessary complexity.
