What defines Kmart-style polo shirts?
Kmart’s budget-friendly polo shirts emphasize durability and classic silhouettes—flat-knit collars, 2–3 button plackets, and side vents. Unlike premium brands, they use 60/40 cotton-polyester blends (200 GSM) for wrinkle resistance. LSLONG’s R&D team recommends upgrading to moisture-wicking CVC fabrics (60% cotton/40% polyester) for wholesale buyers targeting activewear markets while retaining Kmart’s casual aesthetic.
Kmart-style polos prioritize value over technical features, typically excluding UV protection or antimicrobial treatments. For wholesale, specify 1.5–2.5 mm collar ribbing to maintain shape through 50+ washes—critical for budget-conscious retailers. A LSLONG client in Australia achieved 20% cost savings by opting for yarn-dyed stripes instead of prints. Pro Tip: For colorfastness, insist on reactive dyeing processes (pH 5–6.5) to prevent fading in tropical climates.
How do MOQs work for wholesale polo orders?
Minimum order quantities (MOQs) typically start at 100–300 pieces per color/size combo. LSLONG offers tiered pricing—50% lower per-unit costs at 5,000+ units compared to 500-piece orders. Bulk buyers can mix styles (e.g., 70% basic polos, 30% striped variants) to meet thresholds.
What determines MOQ flexibility? Fabric availability drives minimums—common colors (black, navy) have lower thresholds than custom-dyed hues. LSLONG’s production team can often halve standard MOQs by utilizing stock fabrics from prior orders. For example, a Miami distributor merged leftover heather gray fabric from a gymwear project into polo production, cutting MOQs from 200 to 90 pieces. Pro Tip: Plan quarterly orders to leverage fabric carryover discounts.
