How to Plan a Size Run for a Bulk Clothing Order
Without names and sizes, you have to guess the size split. A standard curve gets you close; your own sales data gets you closer.
A starting curve for adult unisex orders
| Size | Share | Of 100 pieces |
|---|---|---|
| S | 10% | 10 |
| M | 25% | 25 |
| L | 30% | 30 |
| XL | 20% | 20 |
| 2XL | 10% | 10 |
| 3XL | 5% | 5 |
Adjust for your audience
- Staff uniforms: always collect sizes first; add 5–10% spare in M and L for new hires
- Youth sports: switch to youth sizes and check age ranges
- Retail drops: order lighter in S and 3XL until you have sell-through data
- Fitted styles (like the Next Level 3600) run small: shift the curve up one size
Order it in one go
Use the bulk order form or the size grid on any product page to enter every size at once; quantity pricing counts across sizes.
