The calendar in Ireland sets the delivery window for hoodies & sweatshirts. Mild, wet weather all year, so layers and fleece sell broadly; peaks include back-to-school in August, Black Friday 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 Limerick include fashion and streetwear brands, universities and schools, promotional-merchandise firms and retailers in cooler climates. In Limerick, 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.

Ireland 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 Limerick 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.

Hoodies are the winter workhorse of casual fashion. They are bought as retail items, as team and school wear, and as branded giveaways, and the choice between a cheap fleece and a premium French terry changes both the feel and the price. We help buyers choose fabrics for their market.

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.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Shannon Foynes, about 20–30 days, then 1 day by road to Limerick. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Limerick; 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.
