Planning your shirts order for Le Havre
Timing decides whether shirts sell at full price or at a discount in Le Havre. Four seasons; peaks include the winter and summer sales and Christmas. 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 20–30 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of shirts in Le Havre include corporate uniform suppliers, menswear retailers, wholesalers in Gulf and African markets and department stores and private-label brands. In Le Havre, 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.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Le Havre
France has distinct seasons, so we split shirts into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as 100% cotton poplin 100–120 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as cotton-linen and viscose-linen blends for summer for autumn and winter.
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.
