A track pants & shorts order for Lae should be planned backwards from the selling season. Tropical all year with a heavy wet season from December to March; workwear and school orders peak before the January term and mining shutdowns. For track pants & shorts specifically, track pants sell in autumn and winter in cooler markets and for sports seasons elsewhere; shorts peak for spring and summer orders placed November–February. Our lead time is 35–50 days, plus sea transit of about 20–35 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.

Typical buyers of track pants & shorts in Lae include sports clubs and academies, fitness and athleisure retailers, promotional-merchandise firms and wholesalers in cooler markets. In Lae, they usually order 1,000–2,000 pieces per style, with up to three colours and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.

Papua New Guinea has distinct seasons, so we split track pants & shorts into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as cotton French terry 220–280 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as four-way stretch for training for autumn and winter.

Sizes: S–3XL adult; kids 4–14 years; waist 26–44 inches. Colours: Black, navy, grey melange, charcoal and brand colours, with contrast stripes and piping.

You are not limited to stock designs. We make track pants & shorts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Lae 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.

Because track pants and shorts share fabric and blocks, they can be offered as matching sets with T-shirts, which retailers and clubs can sell as a complete kit.

Track pants are the easiest knitwear line for wholesalers to sell: they are used for sport, home and travel, and they fit many body sizes. Their price depends on fabric weight and construction, so we offer terry, fleece and polyester options and explain the cost difference.
