Ordering and fit
Use the manufacturer size guide before placing a team or repeat order, especially when different garment brands are being mixed in one uniform programme. For style 18500, the size table above is taken directly from the supplier specification rather than being estimated from variant names. If an order will be decorated, allow for the intended fit and layering as returns or exchanges can be more limited once garments have been personalised.
