clothing wholesaler

A clothing wholesaler is a place where clothing retailers or other large-scale commercial purchasers (e.g. institutions or companies requiring uniforms) buy clothing in bulk, usually for resale at a higher price to their own customers.

The customers include clothing retailers and large purchasers such as employers buying uniforms. A customer need not resell the clothing to have a professional purchasing purpose.

Clothing retailers supply individual customers, while clothing manufacturing produces garments. Bulk commercial supply is distinct from both production and ordinary retail sale.
