Are graded spec charts even that important? As a designer, do you really need to know or have access to that spreadsheet of numbers?
The short answer: yes. A graded spec benefits you in so many ways!
Having a graded spec chart for each style means you:
- Make sure you and your factory are on the same page about what sizes you want and what they each should measure
- Stay in control of how your sizes fit (instead of leaving your sizes up to chance)
- Set quality control standards for each size in writing
- Can create fit and size consistency between styles so your customers know what size to buy from you
- Have the freedom to get your product made anywhere instead of being locked in at one factory
If you’ve put off creating graded spec charts for your styles because you’re not sure you know what you’re doing when it comes to grade rules and sizing, the graded spec chart templates might be just what you need to confidently check those off your to-do list.
