Planning your shirts order for Felixstowe
Timing decides whether shirts sell at full price or at a discount in Felixstowe. 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 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 Felixstowe include corporate uniform suppliers, menswear retailers, wholesalers in Gulf and African markets and department stores and private-label brands. In Felixstowe, 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.
