Starting a
Clothing Brand

Starting a Clothing Line

If you are trying to start your own clothing line, it’s incredibly important to consider all aspects of the process very carefully. Creating a clothing brand does not start and stop with thinking up a design and just creating the prototype sketches. As a clothing line, you are directly responsible for your own success, from how fashionable your clothing designs are and how well they can sell, to choosing a clothing manufacturer and marketing your brand.

With the rise of a globalized economy over the last two decades, many clothing line founders have taken their manufacturing business overseas. Foreign fabric-makers and garment production facilities are incredibly busy, as many Americans facilities have shut down and thousands of jobs have been lost.

Now, however — minimums, turn-around, taxes, freight, customs, and prices have all risen overseas and clothing brands are starting to realize that producing domestically pays off.

Why Choose Stylus Apparel as Your Clothing Manufacturer?

Despite the rise of a global economy and a recession, Stylus Apparel has stayed strong — by producing top quality garments with fast turn-around. There are many reasons to choose Stylus Apaprel as your clothing manufacturer — here are just a few.

We are an IN-HOUSE Facility

When seeking a clothing manufacturer, you’ll find a lot of “factories.” Unfortunately, many of these factories are not in-house facilities. Instead of producing your garment on-site, these “manufacturers” outsource your garments to other contracting services. Stylus Apparel’s production facilities are unparalleled. Full-service embroidery, screen printing, sublimation, and cut and sew services are located in the same building as the sales and order specialists you’ll speak with when manufacturing through Stylus Apparel.

Real People in your Time Zone

After creating an apparel sewing pattern, consider converting it into 3D to obtain a detailed view of the garment. This process enables showcasing the garment on various body sizes and types to assess draping and fit.

American Clothing Manufacturing

If you choose Stylus Apparel to produce your clothing line’s pieces, through each step of the process from pattern-making to sampling to production, you will be able to directly communicate and speak with the real Americans producing your garment. Your garments will be produced and made in the United States of America — you can come into our office and see, touch, and feel your sample garment. If you live outside the area, samples can be delivered within a few days rather than weeks.
