Orders
All orders must be submitted in writing. We will not be responsible for incorrect orders placed over the phone. All information pertaining to the job must be supplied on the work order: including number of pieces, size breakdown, print location(s), ink colors, type of goods, and shipping information. No orders will be processed when insufficient information is received.

Samples
Apparel and product samples are available upon request. We highly recommend our customers order samples to determine quality, style, sizing, fit and color. We will guide our customers and offer advice to help pick the perfect garment/product for the project. Howett’s is not responsible if you are not satisfied with your product selection. Any samples not returned in a timely fashion will be billed to the customer.

Sizing
Please be sure to check the sizing information available in our online catalogs, speak with us directly for additional information, and order samples to ensure you pick the correct size. Be aware that some products come in unisex sizing while others are specifically cut for men or women. Check the sizing charts available for each manufacturer before ordering. Howett’s is not responsible for apparel orders that do not fit.

** If sizing is an issue due to a manufacturers mislabeling of a product, Howett’s will review the order and ensure you receive corrected merchandise.

Colors
Colors will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. We encourage you to order samples. Howett’s is not responsible if you place an order with more than one manufacturer and color variances occur. When browsing our online catalogs, please keep in mind that the color you see on the screen can be different from the actual color of the garment. We encourage you to order samples whenever possible. Howett’s is not responsible if you are not satisfied with your color selection.

Production time will vary according to the number of pieces in an order, the number of print locations, the time in which usable artwork is received, the time in which artwork is approved, and receiving the goods in time. We are not responsible for delays caused by the customer and can charge a rush charge to meet ship dates when delays have been incurred.
