The calendar in Ethiopia sets the delivery window for track pants & shorts. Highland weather is mild, with cooler months from June to September. Demand peaks around Ethiopian New Year (September), Christmas (January) and Easter. For track pants & shorts specifically, track pants sell in autumn and winter in cooler markets and for sports seasons elsewhere; shorts peak for spring and summer orders placed November–February. Our lead time is 35–50 days, 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 track pants & shorts in Addis Ababa include sports clubs and academies, fitness and athleisure retailers, promotional-merchandise firms and wholesalers in cooler markets. In Addis Ababa, they usually order 1,000–2,000 pieces per style, with up to three colours and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Addis Ababa is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of track pants & shorts towards the lighter end of the range: Cotton French terry 220–280 GSM or cotton-polyester fleece 250–300 GSM. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.

Sizes: S–3XL adult; kids 4–14 years; waist 26–44 inches. Colours: Black, navy, grey melange, charcoal and brand colours, with contrast stripes and piping.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make track pants & shorts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Addis Ababa 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.

Fit and comfort set repeat orders. The waistband must keep its elastic, the hem must not twist after washing, and the fabric must not pill. We test all three on samples from the bulk lot, not just on the pre-production sample.

Because track pants and shorts share fabric and blocks, they can be offered as matching sets with T-shirts, which retailers and clubs can sell as a complete kit.

Ethiopia is landlocked, so cargo moves by sea to the transit port and then by road or rail, then 2–3 days by rail or road to Addis Ababa. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Addis Ababa; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.
