Planning your jeans order for Debre Birhan
A jeans order for Debre Birhan should be planned backwards from the selling season. Highland weather is mild, with cooler months from June to September. Demand peaks around Ethiopian New Year (September), Christmas (January) and Easter. 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 12–22 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of jeans in Debre Birhan 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 Debre Birhan, 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 Debre Birhan
Because the climate in Ethiopia is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For jeans we recommend 100% cotton denim, 10–12 oz, rigid, with cotton-polyester blend denim for lower cost as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.
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 Debre Birhan 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
Quality in jeans is decided by three things: fabric shrinkage, wash consistency and sewing of the stress points. We ask the factory to wash a test batch, measure the garment before and after washing, and send the numbers with photographs, so you approve the actual result rather than a catalogue description.
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.
