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 Kurunegala 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 Kurunegala buyers add it to the same container.

Planning your school uniforms order for Kurunegala
A school uniforms order for Kurunegala should be planned backwards from the selling season. 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 school uniforms specifically, orders are placed 4–5 months before term starts; reorders follow before each term. Our lead time is 45–70 days including shade approval; 30 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 school uniforms in Kurunegala include education authorities and tender suppliers, private schools and chains, uniform retailers and donor and NGO programmes. In Kurunegala, they usually order 1,000–3,000 pieces per item per school or tender; small schools can be grouped in one order 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 Kurunegala
Sri Lanka has distinct seasons, so we split school uniforms into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as poly-cotton drill and twill 180–240 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as acrylic knit for sweaters, cotton pique for PE polos for autumn and winter.
Sizes: Ages 4–18 or height-based chart in centimetres; adult sizes for staff uniforms. Colours: School shades matched by lab dip and shade-card approval; stripes and checks woven to design.
School Uniforms made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make school uniforms in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Kurunegala 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.
- Colour: School shades matched by lab dip and shade-card approval; stripes and checks woven to design.
- Size: Ages 4–18 or height-based chart in centimetres; adult sizes for staff uniforms.
- Design and branding: school shades and woven tartans, badge and logo embroidery, gender-neutral and adaptive designs and custom packing per class or school.
