What Fresno's weather means for clothing brands
Summer in Fresno is long, with about 113 days of 90°F-plus heat a year and July highs averaging 98°F, so a lighter jersey tee under 6 oz/yd² (about 200 GSM) should sit beside the heavyweight boxy staple. December tops out at an average high of 55°F and highs stay below 65°F from December to February, so a heavyweight hoodie and a beanie belong in the winter drop, not only light layers. Five or more months a year get under half an inch of rain, so outdoor product shoots and pop-ups in those months can be booked well ahead, which makes it easier to tie a drop to a fixed date. Some 39 days a year reach 100°F, so a summer capsule can lean on slub or open-knit jersey and light colorways that stay cooler in direct sun. About 11 inches of rain a year means a rain shell has little local demand, so put the outerwear budget into a light overshirt or coaches jacket for cool evenings instead.

When should a clothing brand in Fresno 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.
