Summary/Abstract: The issue of the paper concerns the range of outsourcing of logistic services in the clothing companies. The paper presents the results of research carried out in Polish companies. The range of outsourcing is influenced by place of a company in a supply chain (a production or a distribution company) and specificity of manufactured goods (clothes on hangers or folded, mass or individualized product). In some cases, companies only outsource transport services, in others also storing (in whole or in part), supply and e-commers service.
