Lead times in Bangladesh, realistically

Blog 27 August 2026 1 min read By WMB Team

What is achievable, what is optimistic and what is a red flag.

For a repeat knit style with fabric in stock, sixty days from order confirmation to ex factory is comfortable. Forty five is possible if yarn is booked and the factory has an open line.

For a new woven style with dyed fabric and lab dips, plan ninety days. Denim with special washes can run longer because every wash recipe needs approval.

Sweater is seasonal. Between July and October the good flat knit units are full, and a promise of a short lead time in that window is usually a promise someone else's order will be late.

Build two weeks of buffer before your shipping date. Every experienced buyer does.
