Hoodies are the winter workhorse of casual fashion, bought as retail items, team and school wear, and branded giveaways. In Mechelen that demand comes mainly from retail chains & stores.

Retailers in Mechelen restock shirts, T-shirts, jeans, kidswear and seasonal fashion every few weeks, and want private-label labelling, hang tags and barcodes applied at source so garments go straight onto the shop floor.

Mechelen is served through Antwerp, with 1 day by road to the city; its strongest garment sectors are retail chains & stores, wholesale & trading houses and ethnic, festive & diaspora wear.

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

Abayas & Kaftans: Abayas and kaftans are the core of modest fashion, with demand concentrated before Ramadan and Eid and orders placed months ahead. Many Mechelen buyers add it to the same container.

The calendar in Belgium sets the delivery window for hoodies & sweatshirts. Four seasons; peaks include the sales periods, Christmas and community festivals. 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 20–30 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 Mechelen include fashion and streetwear brands, universities and schools, promotional-merchandise firms and retailers in cooler climates. In Mechelen, 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.

For Mechelen we suggest planning hoodies & sweatshirts in two drops, one in lighter fabrics and one in heavier ones, so stock matches the weather rather than sitting unsold.

Sizes: S–3XL; oversized fits; kids 4–14 years. Colours: Black, grey melange, navy, bottle green, burgundy and seasonal colours with garment dyeing.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make hoodies & sweatshirts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Mechelen market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.

How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.

Heavy fabrics take space in a container, so compression packing and carton planning matter for landed cost. We typically pack hoodies compressed and give a carton-count estimate before the order is placed.

Colour and print quality drive repeat orders. We run wash tests on printed and embroidered hoodies, and we hold colour standards so a reorder matches the earlier lot.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Antwerp, about 20–30 days, then 1 day by road to Mechelen. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Mechelen; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Individually polybagged; compressed to save space, 20–30 pieces per carton. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Machine wash cold inside out, tumble dry low; do not iron prints.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
