Size-Spec Measurement Tolerance for Washed Heavyweight Tee OEM

# Size-Spec Measurement Tolerance for Washed Heavyweight Tee OEM

What is size-spec measurement tolerance for washed heavyweight tee OEM?

**Size-spec measurement tolerance** is the buyer-controlled points-of-measure (POM) table that freezes how garments are measured and which plus/minus tolerances apply after wash or on heavyweight cotton. For Weavnora **100% cotton heavyweight or washed T-shirt** programs in the **220–300 GSM** window—and related hoodie/casualwear—approve the size spec after details are confirmed (**about 7 days** for sample), against a **1,000-piece style MOQ**, so the later **about 30-day** bulk plan (project-dependent) matches NA and EU fit expectations.

How should buyers prepare the size-spec package?

Lock these inputs before sample measurement:

1. **POM list** — chest, body length, sleeve, shoulder, hem, neck opening, etc.

2. **Measurement method** — flat vs on-body; seam-to-seam rules written on the sheet.

3. **Wash state** — measure after commercial wash for washed programs; note dry method.

4. **Tolerance band** — e.g. ±0.5 in / ±1.0 cm by POM (buyer brand standard).

5. **GSM target** — named value inside 220–300 for the cotton base.

6. **Approve / revise / reject** form with signed comments and date.

When should buyers measure relative to wash and decoration?

For **washed** tees, measure the commercial wash state that will ship. For heavyweight piece-dyed programs, confirm whether tolerances apply before or after any rinse. If decoration (screen print, DTG, embroidery, or special print) sits on critical POMs, freeze the size spec before placement maps.

“Approve after-wash POM tolerances on the production GSM and finish state before releasing bulk cutting—write measurement method and plus/minus bands on the size spec sheet.” — common buyer QA practice aligned with ASTM apparel measurement norms and AQL final inspection planning

How does size-spec approval connect to sample and bulk release?

• Do not release bulk markers until the size spec is **approved in writing**.

• Keep approved specs with the tech pack, PPS, and shrinkage notes.

• If GSM, wash recipe, or grading block changes, re-measure samples before the 1,000-piece style MOQ release.

• Plan bulk timing (~30 days, project-dependent) only after sample confirmation and size-spec approval.

What should the RFQ say about measurement tolerance?

State POM list, after-wash vs before-wash rule, tolerance bands, GSM (220–300), destination (NA/EU), assortment against the 1,000-piece MOQ, and that bulk cutting starts after signed size spec. Email **postmaster@weavnora.com**. Content and inquiry handling also follow Weavnora Privacy and Terms.

FAQ

What is a size-spec measurement tolerance in tee OEM?

It is the written POM table plus plus/minus bands that define how buyers and factories measure sample and bulk garments for pass/fail.

Should washed tees be measured before or after wash?

Measure in the commercial wash state that will ship unless the brand explicitly grades on greige. Record dry method and rest time on the sheet.

How do MOQ and timing connect to size-spec approval?

Style MOQ is 1,000 pieces with mixed colors and sizes supported. Plan about 7 days for sample development after confirmation and about 30 days for bulk, project-dependent. Bulk cutting should not start until the size spec is signed.

Who receives the signed size-spec comments?

Send approve / revise / reject notes to postmaster@weavnora.com with style reference, GSM, POM sheet, wash state, and size/color mix.
