Default Small, Medium, Large or XL?!

Hi there! I'm new to the forums so forgive me if this has been answered already! I'm launching my own line of designs/tees shortly and it struck me that I don't know how many S, M, L and XL to order!? What mean by that is there a known ratio on what sells the most...I can imagine that XL sells the least.

Can anyone offer any help on this matter?

Thanks in advance!

Very much depends on your t shirt designs..

Our geeky ones sell more in large xtra large. Others not so much.

Well some of the designs are a bit geeky, but the target market is kinda geeky chic but not full on World Of Warcraft geek...if you catch my drift! I have friends would wear a medium and I wear a large, so I was thinking to order more of those sizes, but this is just a guess!

Good guess! If you were to buy 10 of each small & X/Large, get 15-20 Medium & Large. With that kind of ratio you will not be far out.

Good luck.

So that works out at small and XL making up approx 16% of the market each. Cool beans and thanks for the good luck!

are you just stocking normal unisex t's or do you carry woman's too? if Just the normal remember that any woman will probably order smalls or mediums so that will affect your ratio too.

I will be doing girls tees too, so I will probably do small, medium and large in those.

cool, if you're doing both then i'd just stick to your original estimate. I just know that I sold a lot more smalls than i thought i would because girls bought them as i didn't offer a girl-fit T alongside the normal one.

Ah I see...did you find that girls were okay with buying regular small tees or would they prefer proper girls fitted ones?

bit of both really, most were fine buying the smalls and some asked if i was going to do girl-fit. I think if i'd had them they'd have bought them instead but i didn't and it didn't put them off the smalls if you know what i mean.
