Strange Mockup Request

[GoWestRob]

Check out this awesome mockup request.  How do you measure out 1/25 of the shirt size?

I would like to make some co-branded short sleeved tshirts for XXX bar. Attached is their logo. They’d like to see a couple proofs to make up their mind on orientation of our logos. Option 1. Their logo on upper left breast, our logo on the back of the shirt between the shoulder blades and large enough to be very easily seen, approximately 1/25 of the size of the shirt. Option 2. Logo in the center chest spot approx. 1/25 of the size of the shirt, our logo same as option one.

Wow, I had to read that twice and was still a little confused. lol  Are they wanting it 1/25th of each shirt size?  Crazy.

I'm betting they are trying to say ONE QUARTER the shirt.

1/25th of the shirt size?? Think about model car kits that were generally 1/24 scale - less than a foot long.
Like the previous poster, they've gotta be thinking 1/4 of the acreage of the shirt, but if they are, they're talking about a separate setup for most sizes if they're really that fussy.

It sound like they are not using industry terminology.. When they understand that you print at specific image sizes- standard, oversized etc. and how they look on a shirt then they will narrow their options to what is offered and learn something at the sane time..

I know I get a lot of calls and emails that are similar; they just don't know how to express what they need, and maybe are afraid of sounding dumb... when someone asks what a "standard" full front would be, we say 11" (of course they can have any size we can print) and I hear silence (crickets) on the phone, I tell them a "normal size piece of paper for their printer is 8-1/2 x 11, just hold it sideways against your chest and look in the mirror..." It seems to almost always work, as though they just need that frame of reference. Hell, we have contract customers that can't express themselves either, always a bit of work to drag it out of them...

Great minds think alike. The standard letter-sized sheet of paper is also my go-to suggested reference to the folks who just don't have access to a ruler.
(maybe there's an app for that?)
