Planning your caps order for Calabar

Timing decides whether caps sell at full price or at a discount in Calabar. Hot and humid for much of the year, with rains from April to October. Demand peaks before Christmas, Easter, Eid and the wedding season (November to February), so orders are placed 3–4 months ahead. 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 25–40 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of caps in Calabar include promotional-merchandise companies, sports and event organisers, school and uniform suppliers and retail chains and wholesalers. In Calabar, 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.
