U.S. Manufacturing & Sourcing Solutions

Posted on June 1, 2018

Throughout the year, brands and retailers inquire with us about domestic sources for cotton textiles, as well as cut and sew manufacturers for apparel and home products. Unlike international sourcing in Asia and Latin America, there are really no vertically-integrated manufacturers in the United States that offer a one-stop destination for full-package garment or home product manufacturing. You will need to be skilled in sourcing and management of a supply chain in order to bring together the yarn spinner, knitter or weaver, dye house, and cut and sew contractor.

There are numerous examples of individual links in the U.S. supply chain that have built relationships to provide solutions for brands and retailers incorporating their individual products. For example, Buhler Quality Yarns in Georgia is a yarn spinner, but they work with customers to identify a potential knitter, dye house, and cut and sew contractor to meet customer needs. This hands-on approach allows them to sell their yarn in the form of a finished garment. Contempora Fabrics in North Carolina is a knit goods manufacturer that can easily work with a customer to source yarns from a number of U.S. spinners, then work with various dye houses to have fabric finished to customer specs. Working with a cut and sew contractor directly, such as ROICOM USA in El Paso, Texas, the factory is able to source fabrics from a variety of mills based on customer needs.

Two other great resources for cut and sew manufacturers in the United States are the Seams Organization and Maker’s Row. The Seams Organization maintains a large database of contractors for a variety of apparel, home products, and accessory items. Our friends at Maker’s Row promote domestic manufacturing and feature listings of manufacturers of apparel, home products, and many other types of non-textile related products.
