AMERICANA.

As our brand continues to grow, one of the big plans for our future is to produce cut & sew items. Cut & Sew is a different beast than printed apparel and it’s been the downfall of many brands who weren’t prepared for the associated issues that come with that next level of production. There’s no rush for us. We’re taking our time to make sure when we get there, it’s done right and to the greatest quality we can produce. One thing though that constantly comes to mind when I think of our future in cut & sew is figuring out how to produce items locally. With most production being done in China and overseas, it’s tough to make stuff locally nowadays and most people feel the costs are too high which in turn leads to higher prices to the customer. With the rising costs of production in China, it will be interesting to see how things develop. The shift will probably move to other countries where production can be done cheaply and so on.

For us, trying to produce locally is something we are researching and working on. We are not against overseas production. To be honest, it’s good business and we understand that but for us, we feel it’s important to keep production domestic when possible. Who knows, maybe we might end up producing overseas but that will be our last option after we have weighed the costs and issues of producing domestically. I saw the video below and it’s pretty much what inspired this post. The Martin Greenfield factory in Brooklyn is an inspiration to us all. Enjoy the video and continue to stay tuned to our growth to see how things develop with our future in cut & sew. The brand’s future is bright.
