What Dallas's weather means for clothing brands
Summer in Dallas is long, with about 108 days of 90°F-plus heat a year and August highs averaging 97°F, so a lighter jersey tee under 6 oz/yd² (about 200 GSM) should sit beside the heavyweight boxy staple. Fleece demand is squeezed into December to February, when highs average below 65°F, so keep the hoodie run tight and plan to sell through it by spring. About 38 inches of rain a year gives a reason to add a nylon coaches jacket or a water-resistant windbreaker to the fall release, a piece that works when it is too warm for fleece. With some 22 days a year at 100°F or hotter, light colors and breathable fabrics matter, and a water-based or discharge print keeps a summer tee softer and more breathable than a heavy plastisol layer. Rain peaks at about 4.8 inches in October, so keep a covered or indoor backup for any launch event planned that month.

When should a clothing brand in Dallas drop fleece?
Not too early: average highs only drop under 65°F in December, so have the fleece drop live a few weeks before then rather than at the first hint of fall.
