Default Buying shirts...what percentages?

Interested to find out what percentage of sizes do you buy when ordering shirts to sell on the web. For example 50% Large, 20%XL, 20% M, and 10% SML??? For both men and women.

I am about to order a stock of shirts and just wondered what other people had found to be a good balance to start with.

Cheers

that depends a lot on your area and target group, you have to make some fideling. Just to give you a wild guess based on my market I would point the following proportion 1-S, 2-M, 2-L, 2XL for men. For wommen I would concentrate more on smaller sizes (for more fashioable designs). Anyway you have to start somewhere and then balance your stock/purchases.
