Timing decides whether leggings sell at full price or at a discount in Puttalam. Tropical and humid all year, so lightweight cotton sells constantly; the south-west monsoon runs from May to September. Peaks follow April's New Year, Vesak, Christmas and the school terms. For leggings specifically, leggings sell all year; fleece-lined styles peak for autumn-winter orders placed May–August. Our lead time is 25–35 days; 20 days on repeat colours, plus sea transit of about 3–12 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of leggings in Puttalam include women's apparel wholesalers, retail chains and supermarkets, ethnic and fusion-wear boutiques and private-label fashion brands. In Puttalam, they usually order 1,500–3,000 pieces per container colour mix; 500 pieces per colour for stock jersey and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Sri Lanka has distinct seasons, so we split leggings into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as cotton-lycra 95/5 jersey 200–240 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as brushed fleece-lined jersey for winter for autumn and winter.

Sizes: Free size (fits S–L), XL–3XL, and numeric sizing 26–40 inches; plus-size 4XL–6XL on request. Colours: 50+ solid colours, melange and prints; dyed to Pantone in bulk.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make leggings in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Puttalam 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.

A good legging holds its shape after fifty washes, stays opaque when stretched, and has a waistband that does not roll. We test for all three, and we reject lots where recovery or opacity falls below the agreed standard.

Because colours are the main variable, we recommend a stock palette of 20–30 colours with a few seasonal additions, so you can reorder the best sellers in smaller lots with a short lead time.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Colombo, about 3–12 days, then 1 day by road to Puttalam. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Puttalam; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.

Individually polybagged and packed 100–150 pieces per carton; compressed packing for freight savings. Before loading we share a photo, video and measurement report so you can approve what is in the container. Machine wash cold, inside out, do not tumble dry high; avoid fabric softener.

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.
