A hoodies & sweatshirts order for Le Havre should be planned backwards from the selling season. Four seasons; peaks include the winter and summer sales and Christmas. 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 Le Havre include fashion and streetwear brands, universities and schools, promotional-merchandise firms and retailers in cooler climates. In Le Havre, 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.

France has distinct seasons, so we split hoodies & sweatshirts into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as cotton-polyester brushed fleece 280–380 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as organic cotton fleece on request for autumn and winter.

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 Le Havre 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.
