Category definition
What t-shirt stocklots mean
Stocklots are physical knitwear inventories created by cancelled export purchase orders, factory overruns, minor spec variances, or excess fabric deadstock. Fenalt does not hold speculative warehouse inventory or publish unverified broker listings. Each sourced lot is evaluated for composition, stitching, dimensions, storage condition, packing, and legal resale authorization before transaction closure.
Off-price retailers
Brand-quality tees at a discount for outlet networks.
Wholesalers
Low unit-cost inventory for regional distribution.
Promotional printers
Neutral white or dark blanks for immediate decoration.
Emergency replenishment
Fresh overruns to fill primary supply delays.
Classification
Available surplus categories
Factory overruns
Excess units produced above the original PO; usually match primary specs with complete stitching and packaging.
Low; verify labels and quantities.
Cancelled export shipments
Completed lots cancelled after financial, freight, or timing issues; often intact master cartons and size ratios.
Medium; confirm IP release rights.
Excess fabric deadstock
Surplus fabric sewn into basic tees after the primary run; colorways and size distributions can vary.
Low IP risk; check POM and composition.

Verification
A managed inspection and legal-release workflow
1. Lot audit
Confirm physical existence, carton contents, storage, moisture, and defects.
2. AQL check
ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 Level II sampling with AQL 2.5 for major defects.
3. Report
Issue photos, video, POM tables, packing reconciliation, and release findings.
4. Export
Complete de-branding, documentation, carton counts, and dispatch.
Quality grading
Fresh A-grade export surplus; B-grade/minor seconds with slight oil spots, needle cuts, soil lines, or dimensional variance; and as-is/mixed lots with variable weights or compositions.
De-branding
Main label slitting or removal, neutral replacement, hangtag disposal, and geographic resale restrictions are applied according to legal clearance.
Logistics
Take-all, selective, and export terms
Take-all purchases clear the entire factory lot and can provide the lowest unit cost. Selective SKU or size extraction carries a higher unit cost because remaining inventory must still be cleared. Lot-specific minimums depend on the verified factory allocation; custom production uses the standard Fenalt MOQ of 50 pieces per style.
Documentation
Packing lists, commercial invoices identifying export surplus/de-branded goods, and Certificates of Origin.
DAP
Small-batch courier shipments with managed delivery to place.
FOB Chattogram
Bulk container freight with supervised carton counts before sealing.
FAQ
T-shirt stocklot questions
Does Fenalt hold live t-shirt stocklots?
No. Fenalt identifies, verifies, and sources overruns, deadstock, and cancelled lots directly from audited factory floors against buyer demand briefs.
Are stocklot t-shirts new?
Yes. Managed lots are brand-new, unworn factory garments; Fenalt does not source second-hand garments or post-consumer returns.
How are brands and trademarks handled?
Where required by legal clearance, original neck labels, care labels, hangtags, price tickets, and security tags are slit, removed, or replaced before export.
Can we inspect before paying the balance?
Yes. Buyers can inspect in person or receive a Fenalt report with photography, video, POM tables, packing reconciliation, and AQL 2.5 findings.
What shipping terms apply?
DAP supports small-batch courier shipments and FOB Chattogram supports bulk container freight, with carton counts checked during loading.
How is quality graded?
Lots are classified as fresh A-grade surplus, B-grade/minor seconds, or as-is/mixed lots. Fenalt verifies fabric, construction, POM, storage, moisture, and packing.
