Sourcing
Technical fabrics, membranes, insulation, tapes, zips and trims through established mill and component partners.
Fabric and trims are the raw material
Sourcing is determining the most cost-efficient vendor of materials, production or finished goods at the specified quality and service level. It is an important part of the apparel merchandiser's responsibility — which is why our merchandising team runs it alongside development and costing.
We source almost all materials through our established fabric and trim partners.

Sourced for construction, not just price
A seam-sealed shell is only as waterproof as its tape, and a bonded panel only as durable as its adhesive film. Materials are chosen against the construction the garment will actually be built with.
