Planning your polo t-shirts order for Kandy
The calendar in Sri Lanka sets the delivery window for polo t-shirts. 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 polo t-shirts specifically, polos sell all year as uniforms and in summer as retail wear; golf-season, school-term and corporate-year starts drive reorders. Our lead time is 30–40 days including embroidery; 20 days on repeat orders, 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 polo t-shirts in Kandy include corporate-uniform suppliers, golf, sports and school clubs, hospitality groups and security companies and retailers and wholesale distributors. In Kandy, they usually order 500–1,000 pieces per colour for stock fabrics; custom shades need about 1,500 pieces and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Kandy
For Kandy we suggest planning polo t-shirts in two drops, one in lighter fabrics and one in heavier ones, so stock matches the weather rather than sitting unsold.
Sizes: S–5XL; women's XS–2XL; kids 4–16 years; relaxed and slim blocks. Colours: Over 30 stock colours, including navy, white, black, red, royal and bottle green; custom dyeing for corporate shades.
Polo T-Shirts made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make polo t-shirts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Kandy 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.

About our polo t-shirts
Performance polos in polyester micro-pique are increasingly requested by sports clubs, hotels and logistics firms, because they dry quickly and resist odour; we offer them alongside classic cotton so buyers can compare cost and comfort.
The polo is the most-ordered uniform garment in the world because it looks smart, washes well and takes embroidery cleanly. Our polo suppliers in Tiruppur and Noida knit pique on circular machines, finish it with a soft compaction, and cut collars and plackets on dedicated lines so the shape stays consistent from the first piece to the ten-thousandth.
