A track pants & shorts order for Thika should be planned backwards from the selling season. Two rainy seasons and a mild climate allow year-round sales, with hoodies and jackets in cooler months. Demand peaks at back-to-school in January, May and August, plus Easter, Christmas and wedding seasons. 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 12–22 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 Thika include sports clubs and academies, fitness and athleisure retailers, promotional-merchandise firms and wholesalers in cooler markets. In Thika, 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.

Because the climate in Kenya is hot, breathable fabrics move fastest. For track pants & shorts we recommend Cotton French terry 220–280 GSM, with polyester interlock and mesh for sports as a value alternative, and we keep the heavier options for the cooler months only.

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 Thika 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.

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.

Fit and comfort set repeat orders. The waistband must keep its elastic, the hem must not twist after washing, and the fabric must not pill. We test all three on samples from the bulk lot, not just on the pre-production sample.

Containers move by sea from Mundra, Kandla or Nhava Sheva to Mombasa, about 12–22 days, then 2 days by road to Thika. We quote FOB, CFR or CIF, and your clearing agent handles customs and local delivery in Thika; we can coordinate with the forwarder you name.
