When purchasing wholesale jackets, gilets fleeces, and soft shell jackets, there are several key factors to consider to ensure you are getting high-quality products that meet your needs. Here are some important aspects to look for when buying wholesale:
1. Quality. The first and foremost consideration should be the quality of the garments. Check the materials used, stitching quality and overall construction. Look for durable fabrics that can withstand regular wear and tear. The jackets should be well-constructed with reinforced seams for added strength and longevity.
2. Functionality and features. Consider the specific requirements for your intended use. For instance, if you are purchasing jackets for outdoor activities, look for features such as water-resistance, windproofing and breathability. For fleeces and soft shell jackets, check out their warmth and insulation properties. Pockets, adjustable cuffs and hoods are additional functional features to think about based on your needs.
3. Sizing and fit. Ensure that the jackets come in a range of sizes that will accommodate your staff or customers. Check our size charts and measurements to determine the most appropriate size for your intended users. It’s also important to consider different body types and choose jackets with a fit that allows for ease of movement and comfort.
4. Brand reputation. When purchasing wholesale jackets, it is wise to consider the reputation of the brand or supplier. Look for brands that have a track record of producing high-quality garments, such as Russell, Result, Splashmacs, Sols, Regatta, Fruit of the Loom, Finden & Hales and Caterbury. Research customer reviews and ratings to gauge their reputation for product quality and customer satisfaction.
5. Customisation pptions. If you require customisation for your jackets, such as logos, company names, or other artwork, it’s a good idea to use a supplier that can supply the clothing and the printing or embroidery in a single order. Mentioning no names, of course.
6. Quantity and pricing. Evaluate your budget and consider the quantity of jackets you need to purchase, as buying in bulk can often provide cost savings.
7. Return and exchange policy. Familiarise yourself with the return and exchange policy of the supplier. If it’s open and transparent, they should definitely earn your custom.
8. Customer support. What kind of customer support is provided by the supplier? Look for suppliers that are responsive and readily available to address your inquiries or provide assistance. Some businesses just want your money now – others want long, mutual relationships.
9. Reviews and recommendations. Before making a final decision, take the time to read reviews and seek recommendations from other businesses or individuals who have purchased wholesale jackets from the supplier. Their experiences can provide valuable insights into the reliability, quality, and overall satisfaction with the products and services.
Carefully evaluating the above aspects will help ensure that you are making a well-informed purchasing decision and acquiring products that meet your specific needs and requirements. Your staff will thank you for it, and that will only reflect in their loyalty, customer satisfaction and your bottom line.
