Nike Men's Performance Polo Shirt Quality Control Report
This detailed inspection covers the Nike Polo Shirt designed for men's sport and performance wear. The item is evaluated against Nike's typical manufacturing standards for athletic apparel, focusing on construction, materials, logos, and overall finish.
Material and Construction
The shirt utilizes a polyester or polyester-blend performance fabric, which should feel lightweight, breathable, and have moisture-wicking properties. The fabric weave is inspected for consistency, with no visible snags, pulls, or irregularities. The knit should be tight and uniform across all panels.
Stitching and Seams
- Flatlock Seams: All major seams, especially along the sides and shoulders, should use flatlock stitching. This prevents chafing and should lie flat without puckering.
- Hem and Cuff Stitching: The bottom hem and sleeve cuffs must have even, straight stitching with secure bar tacks at the ends.
- Thread Consistency: Thread color must match the fabric perfectly, with no loose threads or skipped stitches.
Logos and Branding
The Nike Swoosh logo, typically placed on the left chest, is critically examined.
- Embroidery: If embroidered, the Swoosh must have clean, sharp edges with dense, even stitching. The thread should not be frayed.
- Heat Transfer: If applied via heat transfer, the logo must be perfectly aligned, with no cracking, peeling, or bubbling at the edges.
- Size and Placement: The logo's size and placement are compared to official Nike product images for accuracy.
Fit and Sizing
The shirt is laid flat and key measurements are taken: chest width (pit-to-pit), shoulder width, sleeve length, and overall length. These are compared to the size chart provided by the seller or Nike's standard sizing. Discrepancies beyond 1-2cm are noted as potential issues.
Final Assessment
A satisfactory unit will exhibit precise stitching, flawless logo application, consistent performance fabric, and accurate sizing. Common flaws to reject include misaligned logos, uneven hems, fabric defects like holes or stains, and significant size deviations. This polo is designed for active use, so durability of construction is paramount.
