Stores in Leicester plan ranges two seasons ahead. We sample early, grade carefully and photograph each style, so buyers can commit before the season and receive goods before the first campaign.

Planning your hoodies & sweatshirts order for Leicester
Timing decides whether hoodies & sweatshirts sell at full price or at a discount in Leicester. 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 hoodies & sweatshirts specifically, hoodies are ordered April–July for autumn and winter in the northern hemisphere, and January–March for the southern; promotional lines peak before sports and event seasons. Our lead time is 40–55 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 hoodies & sweatshirts in Leicester include fashion and streetwear brands, universities and schools, promotional-merchandise firms and retailers in cooler climates. In Leicester, they usually order 800–1,500 pieces per style, up to three colours and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
