Fleece tracksuits have been a staple of the UK wholesale clothing market for decades — and in 2025, demand is stronger than ever. Whether you sell online, at markets, or in a boutique, fleece tracksuits offer high margins, consistent demand, and year-round appeal. In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about buying wholesale fleece tracksuits in the UK.
Why Fleece Tracksuits Are the Best Wholesale Product
Fleece tracksuits tick every box for a successful wholesale product:
- High demand: Comfortable, versatile, and fashionable — customers buy them for loungewear, sportswear, and casual wear
- Year-round sales: While peak sales are autumn and winter, tracksuits sell steadily all year
- Strong margins: Wholesale cost £8-11, typical retail £25-45
- Repeat buyers: Customers who love one tracksuit often come back for another colour
- Easy to display: Simple to fold, hang, or photograph for online listings
Understanding GSM: Why 320 GSM Is the Sweet Spot
GSM (grams per square metre) measures fabric weight. For fleece tracksuits:
- 220-260 GSM: Lightweight, cheaper, feels thin — lower perceived value
- 280-300 GSM: Mid-weight, decent quality — average market standard
- 320 GSM: Heavyweight, premium feel — the quality customers expect
- 350+ GSM: Very heavy, warm, but can feel bulky
At KTUK, all our fleece tracksuits are manufactured at 320 GSM — the industry standard for premium quality. This weight gives the garment a substantial feel without being too heavy, ensuring customer satisfaction and repeat business.
What Colours Sell Best in the UK?

- Navy: Second most popular — appeals to all age groups
- Grey / Charcoal: Strong seller, especially in men's lines
- Burgundy / Olive: Good autumn/winter sellers
- Pink / Mint / Nude: Popular in women's and kids' lines
Mens vs. Womens vs. Kids' Tracksuits

Size Ratios: What You Need to Know
Wholesale tracksuits come in pre-packed boxes with mixed sizes. A typical ratio is 1:2:2:1 for sizes S, M, L, XL. This means:
- In a 24-piece box: 4 Small, 8 Medium, 8 Large, 4 XL
- The ratio reflects natural sales patterns — Medium and Large sell fastest
- Black typically gets double quantity because it sells 2x faster
At KTUK, we clearly label the ratio on every product so you know exactly what you're getting before you order.
How to Choose a Fleece Tracksuit Supplier
When evaluating a wholesale tracksuit supplier, check:
- GSM weight: Is it 320 GSM or higher?
- UK stock: Can they dispatch from the UK within 24-48 hours?
- Own manufacturing: Do they make the product themselves (lower prices) or resell (higher prices)?
- Box ratios: Are sizes balanced for natural sell-through?
- Colour range: Do they offer the colours your customers want?
- MOQ: Is the minimum order realistic for your business size?
