What Omaha's weather means for clothing brands
January nights average a low of 15°F, so a brushed-back fleece of 12 oz/yd² or more (about 400 GSM) and a cuffed beanie are products local customers need, not just want. May is the wettest month, at close to 4.9 inches, so keep launch events indoors that month and save outdoor shoots for drier weeks. July averages a high of 85°F, warm enough for shorts and a boxy tee, so a summer capsule for May to September can be more than an afterthought. With about 27 inches of snow a year, a cuffed beanie sells alongside most winter orders, so bundle it with the fleece drop. Around 131 nights a year fall to 32°F or below, so a lined or quilted coaches jacket can join the hoodie in the winter drop.

Ordering from Omaha
When should a clothing brand in Omaha drop fleece?
Before October, and earlier is safer: winter nights here are bitter, so heavyweight fleece is in demand from the first cold weeks, and a late drop misses them.
