Collecting a team’s sizes is easier when everyone is answering the same question. A list of S, M and L labels is not enough if each person is thinking of a different brand or garment.
Agree which chart you are using
Ask for the size information for the exact garment being proposed. Check whether it gives body measurements or finished garment measurements and what units it uses.
Pass that same chart and its instructions to everyone ordering. A chart for a different range can create a false sense of certainty.
Explain how to compare
If body measurements are required, use a soft tape and follow the chart’s reference points. If it uses garment measurements, compare with a similar item that fits well and follow the stated method.
People may want different amounts of room for layers or personal preference. Make those choices against the actual fit information rather than relying on one rule for the whole team.
Keep an initial estimate separate from the final list
Approximate quantities and size ranges can help the first quotation conversation. Label them as estimates. Before confirming the order, collect the final size choice for each item and reconcile it with the total quantities.
For junior teams, ask a parent or guardian to make or confirm the decision using the relevant information.
Review the order as a whole
Check the count for each garment, size and team. Make sure goalkeeper or coach items have not been absorbed into the wrong total. If there are names and numbers, review those separately from the sizing calculation.
A second check by the organiser can find a missing row or duplicated entry before the order reaches final approval.
Ask before guessing
If a measurement falls between sizes or the chart is unclear, bring the question to Ferrus before confirming. Keep a record of the chart and the specification used for the order so later discussions refer to the same information.
For the first enquiry, approximate quantities and size ranges are enough. Share individual player information only when it is needed for the agreed order process.
