Clothing QC
QC checklist for clothing
Apparel flaws are often fixable or acceptable — until they are not. Prints crooked by an inch, wrong size tag, or a broken zipper are things you want to catch in the warehouse, not on your doorstep.
Confirm what you ordered
Match color, size on the wash tag, and style details like hood drawstrings or cuff ribbing. Compare against the listing screenshot you saved at purchase time.
Print and embroidery
Check front and back graphics for centering, cracking, or misaligned layers. Embroidery should sit flat without loose threads pulling the fabric.
Zippers, buttons, and hardware
Run the zipper in photos if staff provide a video or multiple angles. Confirm button count, snap alignment, and pocket bags are intact.
Fabric, stitching, and smell
Look for holes, uneven dye, or loose hems. Strong chemical smell sometimes fades with air — heavy staining usually does not.
Common questions
- Can I judge fit from QC photos?
- Only roughly. Lay-flat shots help compare length and chest width to size charts. When in doubt, size up on Chinese listings and read buyer notes.
- Are wash tags important?
- They confirm size and sometimes batch. Wrong tag often means wrong size was picked from shelf — flag it before shipping.
