How to use the journal
Each article answers one specification question that recurs in quotation rounds. Buyers planning a first program usually read them in this order: the fabric guide to fix tiers, the quantity planner to fix counts, the embroidery guide to fix branding — then the rollout articles for chains and hotels to fix the calendar. Everything in the journal reflects the standing program documented on this site; where a number appears, it is a program number, not a market claim.
