Man: the market for jeans
Man is reached from San Pedro after 2 days by road. Wholesale markets in Man buy mixed containers of basics, kidswear and jeans.
Denim is the garment that sells in every market: jeans are bought for every season, and retailers and wholesalers reorder washes and fits as sizes sell through. In Man that demand comes mainly from wholesale & trading houses.
Trading houses in Man sell on to shops and market traders, so they judge a supplier on consistent sizing, stable prices and on-time loading. We pack to the size curve of the buyer's customers and keep repeat styles in stock fabric.
Who buys in Man and what sells with jeans
Man is served through San Pedro, with 2 days by road to the city; its strongest garment sectors are wholesale & trading houses.
T-Shirts: T-shirts are the highest-volume garment: bought as retail basics, promotional merchandise and event wear, in plain and printed styles. Many Man buyers add it to the same container.
Leggings: Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly. Many Man buyers add it to the same container.
Kidswear: Children outgrow clothes quickly, so kidswear is replaced every season, with back-to-school and festive peaks. Many Man buyers add it to the same container.
Track Pants & Shorts: Track pants and shorts serve sport, home and travel, and are easy for wholesalers to sell because they fit many body sizes. Many Man buyers add it to the same container.
Planning your jeans order for Man
Timing decides whether jeans sell at full price or at a discount in Man. Hot and humid, with a rainy season from April to July; peaks follow end-of-year festivities, Tabaski, Easter and school terms. For jeans specifically, denim sells all year, with the strongest buying for autumn and winter in Europe and North America (orders placed March–June) and for back-to-school in Africa and the Gulf (orders placed April–July). Our lead time is 45–60 days from approved sample and fabric; 25–35 days on repeat styles, 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 jeans in Man include wholesalers filling retail chains, fashion brands buying private-label denim, open-market traders in Africa and the Gulf and online sellers building denim collections. In Man, they usually order 1,200–3,000 pieces per style with a ratio of sizes and up to three washes; smaller trial orders are possible on stock designs 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 Man
Man is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of jeans towards the lighter end of the range: 100% cotton denim, 10–12 oz, rigid or 98% cotton / 2% elastane stretch denim, 9–11 oz. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.
Sizes: Waist 28–44 inches in even sizes, inseam 30, 32 and 34 inches; EU and US size charts available; kids 2–14 years and women's 26–36 inches. Colours: Indigo, mid-blue, light-blue, black, grey, ecru and seasonal colours; wash cards are sent for approval before bulk.
Jeans made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make jeans in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Man 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.

About our jeans
For wholesalers the ratio pack matters as much as the garment. A carton of 24 jeans with the right spread of waist sizes sells through faster than a mixed carton, so we pack to your market's size curve, which we can suggest from the data we hold for your country.
Denim is the garment that sells in every market we ship to, which is why jeans are usually the first product an importer orders from us. Indian denim mills in Gujarat and Maharashtra weave the fabric, and washing units around Bengaluru, Delhi NCR and Ahmedabad finish it, so the full chain from yarn to washed jean sits within a few days of our loading ports.
