Partners, Clients, and Our American Supply Chain
Radical transparency means naming names. Here is who grows our fiber, who spins it, who we sew for, and who helps us train the workforce.
The dirt-to-shirt supply chain
Every step of our flagship knit program happens inside the United States, within roughly a day's drive of the step before it.
Grown in Virginia
American family farms raise the cotton, including naturally seeded cotton from partners such as Bosselman Farms. Cotton that starts in U.S. soil, on farms we have visited and can point you to.
Spun and knitted in North Carolina
Carolina mills that have been making textiles for generations turn that cotton into yarn and then into jersey fabric. The American textile corridor never fully disappeared, and we buy from what remains.
Cut and sewn in Buchtel, Ohio
Our floor. Cutting, sewing, inspection, and finishing inside the 1890s church, by sewists trained in our own school.

Growing an American supply chain takes more than one factory
We are actively looking for more American mills, farms, dye houses, trim suppliers, and decorators to work with, and for brands who want their production to mean something.
If you make something in the United States that belongs in a garment, we would like to hear from you.
