Q: What are your minimums?
A: For tees, minimums are 300 pieces, with mixed sizes. For other garments, we usually ask for a 100 piece minimum per style with a maximum of 3 colorways. Of course, if you absolutely can’t hit that, we’ll help you out as well. But, the pricing will adjust upwards to account for the smaller quantities.

Q: Are you the cheapest?
A: No, we aren’t the cheapest. You can find a lot of contractors in LA and OC that are cheaper. But, they usually also want larger production quantities. Also, we believe that as a company, we have a social responsibility to pay our workers honest wages that respects their humanity. So, although we may not be the least expensive, we do sleep well at night knowing that we've done right by the Golden Rule. We stand by our quality, and the overall service that we offer under one roof. Besides, aren't there better things for you to do with your time?

Q: Do you do all your production domestically?
A: Yes. We are proud to be made in the USA. There are a lot of talented people here, and great work is still being produced here.

Q: What services do you offer?
A: We offer development, pattern-making, grading, marking, first samples, sample duplicates, cutting/sewing, finishing,and packaging. We also offer blank tees and private label programs.

Q: Where are you located?
A: We are based in Santa Ana, California, in the heart of surfwear territory. We are a 40-minute drive from Los Angeles , so we have access to all the fabric, trims, and accessories sources that all other apparel companies do.

Q: Can you source fabric?
A: We can source basic fabrics such as jersey, ribbing, fleece, and wovens, but customers are usually pretty particular about their fabrics so it’s not something that we do too much of. However, if you are not that familiar or particular, then yes, we can help in fabric sourcing or at least point you in the right direction. We suggest TALA for further help.

Q: If I do work with you, can I have the fabric sent directly to you?
A: Yes. When you have placed an order, fabric can be sent directly to us and we can store it until we cut and sew it. This is very common for our long distance customers, since a lot of fabric originates from LA already.

Q: How about screenprinting and embroidery?
A: We don’t offer these services, but we have partnered with a few companies that do these types of work. Just give a call, and we can point you in the right direction or we can manage this step if you like as well. Of course, there will be a fee for our time managing this work.

Q: What kind of work do you do?
A: We do a lot--dresses, board shorts, shirts, jackets, skirts, slacks, children's wear. Basically, we have experience with a lot of knit and woven fabrics, and do a lot of tops. What we don't work with are silk, tailor-level clothing, underwear, and accessories (handbags, shoes, and the like).

Q: What is your turnaround time?
A: We typically turn items around in 4-6 weeks, depending on the quantities ordered. Of course, any delay in fabric or trims and details will adjust the schedule accordingly.
