Checklists by product type

The general photo-request checklist covers any order. Beyond that, each product type has a few questions worth asking specifically. Below are focused lists for the three categories in this site's reference set, each linked to its examples.

Jackets, coach jackets and tracksuit sets

• Both pieces of a set. For a jacket-and-trousers set, confirm both are present and in matching sizes before shipping.
• Zips and pockets. Ask for the main zip and pocket zips photographed opened and closed, so you can see they run smoothly.
• Logo and stripe placement. Front, back and sleeve details in one frame, since misaligned stripes or logos are common on this type.
• Collar, cuffs and hem. Ribbing, snaps and drawcords laid flat.
• Lining and interior seams. Where the jacket is lined, a look inside for finishing.

Hoodies, sweatshirts and knit sweaters

• Print or embroidery, up close. Alignment, density and loose threads on the graphic.
• Knit gauge and surface. For sweaters, a close photo to judge how tight the knit is and whether it is already pilling.
• Ribbing at cuffs and hem. That it is even and springs back.
• Hood and drawcord. Both cord ends present, hood shape even.
• Interior seams. Turned inside out where possible, to check overlock stitching.

Accessories

This category is broad, so the key is to ask for the one detail that decides the item:

• Caps: embroidery quality, brim shape, and the closure or marked size.
• Belts: the buckle finish and mechanism, the number and spacing of holes, and total length.
• Sunglasses: lenses free of scratches, hinges tight, and any markings readable — without treating markings as proof of origin.
• Cardholders and pouches: stitching, hardware and interior lining close up.
• Swimwear: print alignment and lining — and confirm the return policy first, since hygiene items are often non-returnable.
