Planning your hoodies & sweatshirts order for Houston
A hoodies & sweatshirts order for Houston should be planned backwards from the selling season. Four seasons, with fall-winter ranges ordered by spring and spring-summer by autumn; peaks include Black Friday, back-to-school and the holiday season. 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 30–45 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 Houston include fashion and streetwear brands, universities and schools, promotional-merchandise firms and retailers in cooler climates. In Houston, 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.

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.
