Mark's Takeaway on Bulk Orders

One thing Mark has learned from years in apparel is not to guess the size split on a bulk uniform order. Use the team's actual sizing, then keep a small buffer in the most common sizes for new starters and replacements.

It also helps to stick with the same garment range where possible, so future reorders do not end up looking slightly different.
