Leggings: Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly. Many Moshi buyers add it to the same container.

Planning your shirts order for Moshi

A shirts order for Moshi should be planned backwards from the selling season. Warm year-round with a long rain season from March to May. Demand peaks at the start of the school year in January, around Eid, Christmas and wedding seasons. 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 12–22 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of shirts in Moshi include corporate uniform suppliers, menswear retailers, wholesalers in Gulf and African markets and department stores and private-label brands. In Moshi, 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.

Fabric, fit and colour choices for Moshi

Moshi is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of shirts towards the lighter end of the range: 100% cotton poplin 100–120 GSM or cotton Oxford and pinpoint weaves. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.

Sizes: Collar 14–18.5 inches or S–3XL, sleeve lengths regular and long; slim, regular and comfort fit blocks. Colours: White, blue, sky, grey, black and navy solids, plus yarn-dyed checks and stripes; custom colourways on yarn-dyed orders.

Buyer's checklist for ordering shirts for Moshi

  • Choose slim, regular or comfort fit and confirm the block
  • Approve fabric weight, thread count and shrinkage limits
  • Confirm collar and cuff shape and the interlining grade
  • Agree packing: folded with stays or on hangers
  • Check shade-match tolerance for repeat uniform orders
  • Confirm labelling and fibre-content wording for your market
  • Check the import and labelling rules for Tanzania: imports clear through TRA with an import declaration, and goods may need a Certificate of Conformity under the pre-export verification programme; check with a local clearing agent.
  • Agree Incoterms (FOB, CFR or CIF Dar es Salaam) and the payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
