PikoBuy T-Shirt Spreadsheet: Collar, Print and Fit Checks

A T-shirt inspection plan focused on cut, collar, shoulder, chest, body length, graphic scale, reverse artwork and fold protection. For this collection, the defensible comparison unit is one cut, colour and graphic placement in one measured size rather than every shirt grouped beneath the same campaign image. Write that identity at the top of the row before looking at popularity or source price. Otherwise, visually similar entries can be ranked together even though their selected configurations, construction or included pieces are not comparable.

For T-shirts, one campaign name can conceal several cuts and print scales. Define the row by cut, colour and graphic placement first. A product is not comparable merely because the same artwork appears in its thumbnail.

The core measurement set is shoulder width, chest width and body length measured on the finished shirt, plus collar height when neckline shape affects the comparison. Keep the seller’s original values and units, and note whether they describe a body, the finished product or its package. If you add a conversion, place it beside the original. A clean number without a method is weaker than a slightly uncertain number whose endpoints and technique are documented.

Chest width and body length usually explain more than a regional size conversion. Shoulder width adds context for a dropped or fitted sleeve, while collar height helps when neckline shape is central to the style. Store how each value was taken.

For this category, a purposeful sequence is flat front and back, collar rib, shoulder seam, sleeve and hem stitching, print scale, print texture, care label and selected colour. Begin with whole-object identity, then move to the detail most likely to disqualify the item. A request for random extra photographs wastes the warehouse review window if none answers the remaining question. Tie every requested frame to a visible field in the row.

Flat front and back images make graphic scale easier to judge against seams. A close view of collar rib and stitching can document visible construction, but it should not be stretched into a claim about fabric composition or wash life.

A typical mismatch in this collection occurs when the lowest price belongs to a blank or small graphic while the hero image presents a larger front-and-back print. Match the option text and selected price to the exact version rather than assuming the most attractive gallery frame is included. If the source uses a starting amount, store it as a range or conditional price until the intended option produces its own figure.

When the starting price belongs to a blank or front-only version, the row must not show a front-and-back graphic at that price. Select the intended SKU again and preserve the amount generated by that choice.

The key packaging trade-off is that a shirt is usually low-volume, so the more important packaging question is protecting a large print from sharp folds without adding unnecessary bulk. Record the current retail packaging, the requested change and the reason. Then compare final packed weight and dimensions when choosing an international route. Source price cannot answer this question, and product weight alone cannot reproduce a parcel quote.

A large print can be damaged by a hard fold even though the shirt itself is easy to compress. Ask for a fold that protects the decoration, then use the final parcel dimensions for route research rather than adding generic garment weight.

Reject or pause a candidate when one lifestyle image replaces the option gallery, dimensions are missing, the print cannot be matched to the chosen SKU, or price context is unclear. These are not cosmetic editorial preferences. Each missing field prevents a repeatable comparison or hides a decision that must be made before purchasing. An unknown field can stay visible if it is non-decisive; a decisive unknown should not be buried beneath a high-resolution hero image or a low starting price.

Exclude a shirt when the gallery never shows the chosen colour or reverse side, or when dimensions come from an unidentified size. Those gaps make option matching and fit comparison impossible to reproduce.

A complete row for this category keeps cut, colour, graphic version, shoulder, chest, length, collar detail, front and back evidence, source price, currency, selected SKU and last check. Those fields combine identity, comparison evidence, parcel context and date. They are intentionally more detailed than title, image and link because those three fields cannot explain why a product was shortlisted or why a later change invalidated it.

A strong T-shirt row links the graphic version to the exact measurements and price. If artwork, collar or cut changes, treat the result as a separate product state and give it its own date. The row is ready only when another reviewer can restate one cut, colour and graphic placement in one measured size rather than every shirt grouped beneath the same campaign image without relying on the category name, hero image or an unexplained price alone.
