Hot Trends in Import Apparel

Our import division has been seeing a discernable uptick in business over the past 6 months, despite the economic turmoil. Leading the way is polo shirts and polo derivatives. With workplace attire moving towards casual and lifestyle branding catching fire, polos make the perfect customizeable statement. Our resources make for the best names in golf, and our long standing relationships make the process of fully customized wearing apparel simple. Customers simply provide the artwork for labels, custom neck and vent taping, buttons, and logos, provide direction for fit and fabric type, and we are off and running. The most popular fabrics are a 40/2 6 ounce pique (the plied yarn makes it incredibly smooth and consistant) and we find bamboo blends to be coming on strong. Bamboo imparts natural anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties, and, when combined with organic cotton, adds to the sustainable/organic movement story. A bit of spandex is often used, in either fabric, to impart added mobility/recovery.

If you are seeking a reliable, consistant, quality supplier for custom private label import apparel you are home. Style Source facilitates every aspect of the process, from development to samples to manufacturing, logistics and quality control. We will quote you (in most instances) a landed, duty paid, delivered to your door price (excluding freight). If you wish to use our LDP pricing, we will set you up with our customs broker, who, along with us, will manage all transportation scheduling, paperwork, duties, tarrifs, fees, and customs declarations. You only need to review and approve samples, place your order, and receive the goods.
