S/S stands for short sleeve, a standard notation used on tech packs, line sheets, and retail tags to quickly identify garment variations. It distinguishes a style from its long-sleeve or sleeveless counterparts without taking up valuable space on production charts. Designers and buyers rely on this shorthand to sort seasonal collections efficiently.
Heard on the job
Make sure the S/S tees are bundled separately from the L/S ones before shipping.
Insider tip
Always pair this abbreviation with L/S on line sheets so buyers can easily spot the sleeve options for a specific silhouette.
