Custom Import Apparel

Our import division is the fastest growing segment of our business. As much as we prefer to manufacture garments domestically we cannot ignore the advantages to importing custom apparel. The higher the value added, and the higher the amount of labor, the more sense it makes to import. The bottom line is that you are competing in a marketplace that is saturated with low cost import apparel, and to penetrate you must not only have the styling, the fabrics, the colors and the graphics customers want but you must compete on price. Typically, for a mid labor intensive garment with some value added graphics (embroidery, screen printed, patches etc) you can buy 5 import garments for the price of 3 domestically produced. With higher labor/value added that can change to 6 imported garments for the price of 3 domestically made. More importantly, the methods employed overseas include many hand labor applications that simply cannot be done domestically due to prohibited labor costs. This translates to signifigantly greater capabilities overseas with decorating and decorative stitching techniques.

If you are entertaining the thought of starting an apparel line then you may wish to weigh the possibility of custom manufactured imported apparel versus domestically made custom apparel. We can help you weigh the pluses and minuses and assist you either way. Our import division simplifies the task of getting a quality made garment to your specifications landed and delivered to your door!
