Planning your polo t-shirts order for Calabar
The calendar in Nigeria sets the delivery window for polo t-shirts. 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 polo t-shirts specifically, polos sell all year as uniforms and in summer as retail wear; golf-season, school-term and corporate-year starts drive reorders. Our lead time is 30–40 days including embroidery; 20 days on repeat orders, 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 polo t-shirts in Calabar include corporate-uniform suppliers, golf, sports and school clubs, hospitality groups and security companies and retailers and wholesale distributors. In Calabar, they usually order 500–1,000 pieces per colour for stock fabrics; custom shades need about 1,500 pieces 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 Calabar
Because the climate in Nigeria is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For polo t-shirts we recommend 100% cotton pique 180–220 GSM, with polyester micro-pique with moisture management as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.
Sizes: S–5XL; women's XS–2XL; kids 4–16 years; relaxed and slim blocks. Colours: Over 30 stock colours, including navy, white, black, red, royal and bottle green; custom dyeing for corporate shades.
