Hoodies & Sweatshirts Supplier & Exporter in Eldoret, Kenya

Eldoret sits 2–3 days by road inland from Mombasa, where cargo from India is cleared. Traders in Eldoret buy garments by the carton and the container for resale across the region. Malls, chains and independent shops in Eldoret restock with imported fashion basics.

Hoodies are the winter workhorse of casual fashion, bought as retail items, team and school wear, and branded giveaways. In Eldoret that demand comes mainly from retail chains & stores.

Stores in Eldoret plan ranges two seasons ahead. We sample early, grade carefully and photograph each style, so buyers can commit before the season and receive goods before the first campaign.

Leggings: Leggings are among the highest-volume women's garments, bought by wholesalers and retailers in dozens of colours and reordered constantly. Many Eldoret buyers add it to the same container.

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. Many Eldoret buyers add it to the same container.

T-Shirts: T-shirts are the highest-volume garment: bought as retail basics, promotional merchandise and event wear, in plain and printed styles. Many Eldoret buyers add it to the same container.

A hoodies & sweatshirts order for Eldoret should be planned backwards from the selling season. Two rainy seasons and a mild climate allow year-round sales, with hoodies and jackets in cooler months. Demand peaks at back-to-school in January, May and August, plus Easter, Christmas and wedding seasons. 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 12–22 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 Eldoret include fashion and streetwear brands, universities and schools, promotional-merchandise firms and retailers in cooler climates. In Eldoret, 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.

Eldoret is warm for most of the year, so we steer buyers of hoodies & sweatshirts towards the lighter end of the range: Cotton-polyester brushed fleece 280–380 GSM or 100% cotton French terry 260–320 GSM. Heavier blends feel uncomfortable in the heat and slow sell-through in the shops.

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 Eldoret 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.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Mombasa, about 12–22 days, then 2–3 days by road to Eldoret. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Eldoret; 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.

Documents supplied with every shipment: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and bill of lading, plus test reports and compliance documents where your market asks for them. Payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
