Size Inclusion Consulting for the Apparel Industry

Let's Work Together Toward Inclusion

Those of us in the outdoor industry know the importance of being prepared, especially as we venture out into uncharted territory. To temper the fear of the unknown, we do our research of the terrain, climate, and conditions. Oftentimes we may reach out to a guide for seasoned experience and recommendations.

Consider Make Plus Equal your guide for size equity. Whether your brand is in the early stages or further down the path of size inclusion, we’re here to educate and advise your teams along the way, helping them avoid missteps and build confidence as they drive your business forward by connecting with a broader target audience.
