Start with the full shape

Look for front, back and side views taken from a similar distance. For paired items, both sides should be visible together so obvious differences are easier to notice.

Inspect construction points

Move closer to seams, hems, zippers, hardware and printed or embroidered areas. Neutral lighting is helpful because deep shadows can hide edges and surface variation.

Match the selected option

Photographs are only useful when they correspond to the chosen size, color or model. Compare visible labels and measurements with the option shown on the live listing.

Keep measurements in context

A ruler or tape should show both the starting point and the relevant edge. Check whether a value is a flat width, circumference or internal length before comparing it with a chart or an item you own.

Use a repeatable decision record

Note the photo date when available, the option reviewed and any missing view. A short record makes it easier to explain why an item was accepted, rejected or left for further clarification.

A Hacoo QC worksheet for shoes and clothing

QC means quality control, but a set of photographs is only evidence of the details it actually shows. This checklist does not imply that Hacoo or the linked catalog offers an inspection service. Use item-specific images when available, and label listing or promotional photographs separately. A missing image is an unanswered question, not evidence of a defect.

Top or hoodie dimensionsGarment flat, chest endpoints visible, no stretched fabricFit from a model photo or an unexplained chest number
Visible constructionComparable front and back views, then seams, hems and fasteningsLong-term wear, wash behavior or a hidden defect

For example, a chest photograph showing only the final number cannot confirm the starting point. Ask for one complete view with both endpoints and the selected size label. If that is unavailable, keep the measurement unresolved rather than using the number as a confirmed garment width. This is a measurement example, not a report about a specific listing.

Use three outcomes in your notes: visible detail matches the selected option, a visible difference needs clarification, or the image is insufficient. Record the option, photo source and date with the outcome. Do not combine a clear photograph of one size with a chart for another size and call the set complete.

Continue with the shoe size and fit comparison or the hoodie measurement guide. To compare two listings, use the exact-option worksheet before transferring any image evidence between them.
