A men's product lineup does not need all 63 products in the catalog live at once, especially on the free tier's 3-product cap. It needs the right 8-10 pieces that cover daily training, layering, bottoms, and headwear. Here is the full men's lineup broken out by category with the brand and VIP base price for each.

A Focused 8-Piece Starter Lineup

If choosing between everything above, most first-time vendors do best with: cotton tee, performance tee, comfort soft hoodie, performance training shorts, midweight joggers, snapback hat, long sleeve, and a polo for anything customer-facing. That covers training days, cold mornings, casual wear, and one dress-up piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many products can I list on the free plan?

3 live products. Most vendors pick one tee, one hoodie, and one hat to start, then upgrade to VIP for the full lineup.

Is there a womens equivalent for each piece?

Yes, most categories (tees, tanks, hoodies, joggers) have matching women's cuts in the same catalog, so one shop can serve both audiences.

Which piece has the widest color selection?

Cotton tees and hoodies generally carry the widest color range. VIP and Done-For-You plans have our team pick the top 6 color variants per item for the best-selling combinations.

Can I add youth sizes to a men's lineup?

Yes. Youth versions of the hoodie, crewneck, and several tees are in the catalog for family or program-wide orders.
