Flat-table measurement, size-chart reconciliation, fit checks across body types and stitch counting
Priya spent five years on the fitting floor of a football kit retailer in Manchester, measuring returns and logging why shirts came back. She runs the measurement sheets at the desk, orders two sizes whenever a chart looks ambiguous, and writes the sizing tables that sit under every jersey review.

How I test
Every jersey is measured twice on a hard table with a tailor's tape: chest width pit to pit, body length from collar seam to hem, sleeve length and shoulder width. Priya averages the two readings, compares them with the seller's chart and prints both numbers when they disagree. Fit checks are run on two testers with recorded height and chest measurements.
