Planning your caps order for Southampton
A caps order for Southampton should be planned backwards from the selling season. Four seasons, with autumn-winter ranges ordered by April and spring-summer by October; peaks include Eid, Diwali, Black Friday, Christmas and back-to-school. For caps specifically, caps sell strongly in summer, at sports events and in promotional campaigns; winter beanies are ordered by July for the northern autumn. Our lead time is 25–40 days, 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 caps in Southampton include promotional-merchandise companies, sports and event organisers, school and uniform suppliers and retail chains and wholesalers. In Southampton, they usually order 1,000–3,000 pieces per design; 500 pieces for stock colours with simple embroidery 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 Southampton
Colder months in United Kingdom reward heavier weights and blends. For caps we propose Cotton twill 240–280 GSM for the core range and acrylic knit for beanies for the cold-weather edit.
Sizes: Adjustable with strap, snap or buckle closures; fitted sizes S–XL; kids' sizes. Colours: Over 30 stock colours; contrast peaks, panels and under-peak colours.
