We offer a full package service in apparel manufacturing. Working closely with both our clients and vendors, we help to design and produce fully custom apparel. Our team can also assist in the artwork/graphic development as well.

Apparel product categories include knitwear, tailoring, wovens and cut/sew for mens, womens and children, as well as soft home goods and accessories.

In order to address the needs of our clients, we recommend scheduling in an initial phone call consultation.

If both sides decide it’s a good fit, we will review the project scope to assess cost, timeline and next steps

We typically recommend that our clients provide at least a 7-8 week window from start to completion of their project, depending on the size. For higher volume production or a larger assortments of styles, we recommend around 3 months.

To get a better idea, feel free to send us an email/schedule a phone call to discuss!

We offer an assortment of cut/sew styles ready to go including men’s and women’s t-shirts, tank tops, hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatpants, caps, totes and more. Each style comes in an assortment of existing colors.

Anything that we don’t have on hand can be custom developed but we will require longer lead times for these orders. All knitwear and tailoring are made-to-order.

Absolutely! Our art department specializes in graphic art that can be used for apparel, accessories, or even a company-wide rebranding.

We make an active effort to ensure our minimums are manageable for our clients. While there are price break benefits to higher units, we can make as little as one piece per style, depending on the project.

90% of our development and manufacturing is done in Downtown Los Angeles. We believe in supporting local and small businesses.

The other 10% are our knitwear vendors based in Peru and Portugal, where we love to support special hand craftsmanship sourced from small villages and artisanal manufacturing.

Wherever possible, our team opts to work with raw materials that minimize environmental impact. While organic cotton is not the perfect solution to our industry’s problems, every little helps. We also focus on trying to use deadstock and upcycled fabrics and yarns by working with our vendors’ existing inventories. Additionally, partnering with local vendors enables us to substantially reduce our carbon footprint by saving on freight emissions.

We are also mindful of print and dye techniques used, ensuring minimal water contamination and waste.

We offer a variety of different structures depending on the type of work needed. For more long term contracts, we usually recommend a monthly retainer or a by-the-hour flat rate.

If the partnership is more of a one-off project, we will charge a single fee based on the size of the project.

We invoice separately for cost of goods and our time.

We will require a 50% deposit before any production can begin. Any and all invoices must be paid in full within 14 days of invoice receipt and delivery of final goods.
