Default cut off dates

I am so lost on what to put for my cut off date! What is a reasonable amount of time to give a buyer?

Like a cut off date that the buyer has to make a decision by? Or like a cut off date that the buyer has to pay by?

A little more info will help us understand better and hopefully point you in the right direction

Work out when your clothes need to be in stores, work out a ship date based on that, minus your production time from that date, and there you have it.

It depends on your production schedule more than external factors; you set the dates that suit you.
