Planning your hoodies & sweatshirts order for Rusizi
Timing decides whether hoodies & sweatshirts sell at full price or at a discount in Rusizi. A mild highland climate allows year-round sales with peaks in January, April and September at school terms, and around Christmas. 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 Rusizi include fashion and streetwear brands, universities and schools, promotional-merchandise firms and retailers in cooler climates. In Rusizi, 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.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Rusizi
Because the climate in Rwanda is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For hoodies & sweatshirts we recommend Cotton-polyester brushed fleece 280–380 GSM, with polyester fleece for sports as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.
Sizes: S–3XL; oversized fits; kids 4–14 years. Colours: Black, grey melange, navy, bottle green, burgundy and seasonal colours with garment dyeing.
Hoodies & Sweatshirts made in bulk to your colour, size and design
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 Rusizi 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 hoodies & sweatshirts
Hoodies are the winter workhorse of casual fashion. They are bought as retail items, as team and school wear, and as branded giveaways, and the choice between a cheap fleece and a premium French terry changes both the feel and the price. We help buyers choose fabrics for their market.
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.
