What Jacksonville's weather means for clothing brands
A dense heavyweight tee is a lot of fabric for Jacksonville, where 97 days a year reach 90°F and July averages a high of 92°F; offer the same graphic on a midweight blank for summer buyers. With January still averaging a high of 66°F, a local hoodie drop sells as a holiday gift or travel piece more than a winter need, and tees, shorts and caps carry the year. About 48 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. June is the wettest month, with about 7.3 inches of rain, so schedule outdoor shoots and pop-ups away from it and use it for an online-only release.

When should a clothing brand in Jacksonville drop fleece?
Late in the year, and lightly: summers here are hot and no month averages a high under 65°F, so one fleece drop timed for the holidays, in a midweight rather than a heavyweight, is enough.
