Planning your shirts order for Debre Birhan
A shirts order for Debre Birhan should be planned backwards from the selling season. Highland weather is mild, with cooler months from June to September. Demand peaks around Ethiopian New Year (September), Christmas (January) and Easter. For shirts specifically, formal shirts sell year-round with peaks before the new school or business year and before festive seasons; linen blends peak for spring and summer orders placed in November–February. Our lead time is 40–55 days from approved sample; 25–30 days on repeat poplin styles, plus sea transit of about 12–22 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of shirts in Debre Birhan include corporate uniform suppliers, menswear retailers, wholesalers in Gulf and African markets and department stores and private-label brands. In Debre Birhan, they usually order 1,000–2,000 pieces per style, with fabric-led minimums of 1,500 metres for yarn-dyed checks and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Sizes: Collar 14–18.5 inches or S–3XL, sleeve lengths regular and long; slim, regular and comfort fit blocks. Colours: White, blue, sky, grey, black and navy solids, plus yarn-dyed checks and stripes; custom colourways on yarn-dyed orders.
