Planning your hoodies & sweatshirts order for Kericho
A hoodies & sweatshirts order for Kericho should be planned backwards from the selling season. Two rainy seasons and a mild climate allow year-round sales, with hoodies and jackets in cooler months. Demand peaks at back-to-school in January, May and August, plus Easter, Christmas and wedding seasons. 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 12–22 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 Kericho include fashion and streetwear brands, universities and schools, promotional-merchandise firms and retailers in cooler climates. In Kericho, 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.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Kericho
Kericho is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of hoodies & sweatshirts towards the lighter end of the range: Cotton-polyester brushed fleece 280–380 GSM or 100% cotton French terry 260–320 GSM. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.
Sizes: S–3XL; oversized fits; kids 4–14 years. Colours: Black, grey melange, navy, bottle green, burgundy and seasonal colours with garment dyeing.
