what to look for in wholesale jackets and fleeces

When purchasing wholesale jackets, gilets, fleeces, and soft-shell jackets, there are several key factors to consider to ensure you get 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 material used, the stitching quality, and the 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 consider based on your needs.

3. Sizing and fit. Ensure that the jackets come in a range of sizes to 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 brand's or supplier's reputation. Look for brands with a track record of producing high-quality garments, such as Russell, Result, Splashmacs, SOL'S, Regatta, Fruit of the Loom, Finden & Hales and Canterbury. Research customer reviews and ratings to gauge their reputation for product quality and customer satisfaction.

5. Customisation options. 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, printing, and embroidery in a single order. Mentioning no names, of course. 

6. Quantity and pricing. Evaluate your budget and consider how many jackets you need to purchase, as buying in bulk can often provide cost savings.

7. Return and exchange policy. Familiarise yourself with the supplier's return and exchange policy. If it's open and transparent, they should definitely earn your custom.

8. Customer support. What kind of customer support does the supplier provide? 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 the 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 products and services.

Carefully evaluating the above aspects will help ensure you make a well-informed purchasing decision and acquire products that meet your specific needs. Your staff will thank you for it, which will only be reflected in their loyalty, customer satisfaction, and your bottom line.

why buy wholesale jackets from us?

At Screen Textiles, jackets and outerwear are among the most commercially important categories we stock. It’s one where quality, reliability and value genuinely matter. Softshell jackets, gilets, fleeces, bodywarmers and windbreakers are never really impulse purchases. They’re chosen carefully because they need to do a job, and the businesses and other organisations buying them wholesale need a supplier they can trust to get it right.

The brands in our outerwear range are all well-established and well-known for producing garments built for real-world conditions, rather than just looking good (although they do that too). That matters hugely for construction firms, outdoor pursuits companies, sports clubs and event staff who need outerwear that performs in the field, but it’s equally important for retailers whose customers expect a jacket to last several seasons. If you’re a corporate buyer who wants your staff to look sharp and stay comfortable whatever the weather, you’ve found your supplier. Our wholesale pricing makes it viable to order outerwear in volume. Because we recognise that workforces and teams come in all shapes and sizes, mixed orders of the same product across different sizes and colours keep their full bulk discount. There’s no need to compromise on the range of sizes you order just to protect your unit price.

And don’t forget, we’re also able to add branding, logos, and embroidery to outerwear in-house, using materials and techniques that preserve waterproofing where appropriate. This makes us a particularly strong choice for corporate uniform buying and promotional use. Fast dispatch from our UK base and a straightforward returns process for account holders are the final pieces in the jigsaw. Place your order today – we won’t leave you out in the cold.
