What to prepare for a custom jersey quote

A jersey quote request is easier to discuss when the quantity means something specific. “We need jerseys for our brand” leaves several decisions open: which design, how many colourways, what size range and whether the request includes a sample. Put those details in one short document. You can still start a conversation while some decisions are unresolved; label them clearly instead of guessing.

1. Separate development from the production quantity

State the purpose of the project: a retail collection, team uniform, event or gifts. Then describe the current design stage and what you need help with. A sketch, an existing mockup and a previously reviewed sample lead to different questions. List sample units separately from the planned production quantity so nobody assumes one is included in the other.

If the total depends on later decisions, provide a working range and explain what is uncertain. An estimated quantity is useful context, but it does not confirm that a particular minimum or production method is available. Ask the studio to review the design, materials and quantity together.

2. Break the total down by colour and size

Use a row for each colourway and a column for each requested size. Give colourways unambiguous names or reference codes. The table below is a made-up planning example with 24 units, not a minimum order, a package we sell or a suggested size distribution. Replace every value with your own requirements.

Colourway	S	M	L	XL	Total
Black / cream	2	4	4	2	12
Green / cream	2	4	4	2	12
Total	4	8	8	4	24

Check both row totals and the overall total. Link the size labels to your chosen measurement chart or reference garment; “M” without a reference does not define fit. If the distribution is provisional, date it and mark it “estimate”. Record extra sample or display units separately rather than hiding them in the total.

3. Flag changes beyond colour and size

Explain whether every jersey uses the same artwork and construction. Personal names, numbers, different sponsor graphics or another collar should be listed explicitly. For individual personalisation, agree the format for a checked list of names and numbers before production. Your first enquiry can simply describe the number and type of variations; there is no need to send unrelated personal information.

• Design: link the current artwork version and identify anything still to create.
• Material and fit: name agreed references and list options still being considered.
• Brand details: specify labels, hangtags and packaging requirements, or say that these remain open.

4. Add destination, dates and budget context

Provide the delivery country and city, the preferred arrival date and any fixed event date. Distinguish the date you need the jerseys from the date you hope to approve a sample. Both are planning inputs to discuss; they are not confirmed production or shipping dates. Note if the project needs several delivery destinations or separate packs.

If you have a budget range, include its currency and explain what it is intended to cover: design, samples, garments, packaging or delivery. When reviewing the quote, ask what is included, what remains provisional and which destination-related charges still need confirmation. Do not compare two headline totals before checking that they cover the same work.

5. Send a request that can be reviewed

• Project purpose and current design stage.
• Sample request and separate estimated production quantity.
• Quantity table, size reference and colourway identifiers.
• Artwork variations, labels and packaging.
• Delivery destination, target date and fixed event date if relevant.
• Budget scope and currency, open questions, document version and contact person.
