About Us

Superior Essentials: 30 Years of Fabric Innovation & Technology

We got our start in 1993 creating technical performance fabric for the famous brands you know and love.
Since then, we've combined expert engineering and an eco-conscious approach 
to craft elevated basics
 that boost brand value. 
We outfit the best of the best, from professional athletes to our armed forces.

Expert Brand Made in the USA Wholesale Active Lifestyle Apparel

In Our Own Backyard 

We run a tight ship, and it’s not going to get stuck in the Suez.
Our domestic supply chain doesn’t leave a 12 mile radius.

Developed • Designed • Knit • Dyed • Cut • Sewn • Packed • Shipped

And just like that perfect cup of coffee, all our USA-made clothing is comes from a single origin in Los Angeles. Instead of wonky weaves, irregular silhouettes, and discordant dye jobs bred out of multiple factories, we deliver quality and consistency that you can pass on.

We're Clean About Our Green 

 • KNITTING - Knit to Fit

After three decades of extensive R&D, we are masters of the loom.
We’re direct knitters, unlike the majority of apparel manufacturers who purchase fabric from third-party commission knitters.
We out-knit our competitors, keep costs low, and minimize waste.

• DYEING - Pigments Without Problems

Blue Sign Certified Wholesale Blanks

ALL our dyes are Bluesign® certified eco-friendly.
Our high-efficiency dye machines require 7x -10x less water than the average dye house facility. Cutting-edge closed loop technology filters used water from each dye job and recycles it for reuse in the next batch.

• CUTTING & SEWING - A Cut Above the Rest

Cutting & Sewing is maximized for efficiency and waste reduction.
Any leftover trimmings and scraps are upcycled and reimagined into other products, such as insulation for couch cushions and dog beds.
