Made in USA
Premium blanks
Los Angeles, California
One domestic process. Start to finish. Made here — cotton to carton, every step under a domestic roof.
Premium blanks should be more than a starting point.
Made in USA is not a finishing statement. It is the framework behind the product — where the cotton is sourced, where the fabric is developed, where garments are cut and sewn, and where color and finishing take shape.
Keeping the process domestic means staying close to the work. Materials, construction, color, and quality move through a supply chain built here, with fewer handoffs and greater control at every stage.
That connection carries into how we develop the product. We can test, adjust, and refine as we go — with the people making it involved throughout the process. A change in fabric, fit, construction, or finish doesn’t have to move through layers of outside vendors before it reaches production.
Domestic manufacturing is not something applied to the story after the fact. It is built into the way every BTSA blank is made.
Domestic manufacturing means greater accountability.
Keeping production close gives us direct visibility into how our garments are made and the people making them.
Our Los Angeles manufacturing operation allows us to maintain greater oversight of working conditions, production standards, and the relationships throughout our supply chain rather than relying on layers of outside vendors.
Responsible manufacturing is part of how we operate, not something added after the fact.
Built to experiment. Built to evolve.
Having manufacturing close gives us the ability to develop, test, adjust, and improve quickly.
A new fabric, wash, hand feel, fit adjustment, or corrected specification can move directly between our development and production teams. That proximity gives us more freedom to experiment while maintaining control over the finished product.
It’s how new ideas move from concept to production without traveling across a global supply chain.
Reducing distance by keeping the chain short.
Domestic production keeps more of our supply chain within the U.S. and much of our manufacturing within Los Angeles.
Yarn moves to knitting, fabric moves to cutting, and garments move through sewing, dyeing, finishing, and fulfillment without crossing oceans between each stage.
A shorter supply chain means fewer transportation miles, fewer handoffs, and greater visibility into how the product gets made.
Practical choices at every stage.
For us, sustainability starts with making better decisions inside the manufacturing process.
That means reducing fabric waste, improving production efficiency, working with Bluesign®- and GOTS-approved dyes, minimizing water where possible, and keeping more of the supply chain close to home.
We focus on measurable improvements to how we manufacture rather than broad sustainability claims — making the process better wherever we have direct control.
No step leaves the country.
A domestic supply chain built to stay close — from the first fiber to the final fold. Each stage connects directly to the next, keeping the product, the people, and the decisions behind it here at home.
This is what our process looks like, step by step.
Cotton sourcing
Every BTSA garment begins with premium American cotton.
We source our yarn and raw materials domestically, working with mills we’ve built long-standing relationships with — including developing fabrics specifically to our own standards.
The result is a better starting point for the softness, breathability, and consistency we expect from every fabric we make.
Fabric knitting & finishing
100% of our fabric is knit in Los Angeles using domestically sourced materials and specifications developed in-house.
From yarn to finished fabric, we control the construction, weight, texture, and hand feel before anything moves into garment production. Getting the fabric right here sets the standard for every step that follows.
Fabric specs & testing
We obsess over the specs.
Before fabric is cleared for cutting, it goes through our testing and development process for weight, hand feel, shrinkage, and lot-to-lot consistency. The data helps us refine each fabric before it becomes a finished garment — so quality is built into the product before sewing ever begins.
Cutting
Fabric is cut in controlled production batches using patterns and markers designed for accuracy and efficiency.
Our cutting protocols help minimize unnecessary scrap while keeping every garment consistent from one production run to the next. Remaining fabric waste is collected and sent to recycling partners whenever possible, giving those materials another manufacturing life cycle.
Sewing
Every garment is sewn locally by experienced production teams, with the same attention given to construction as the fabric itself.
Seams, proportions, reinforcement, and finishing are closely controlled to create blanks built for consistency and durability. Our commitment to responsible domestic manufacturing is also supported by our SMETA Pillar II social audit.
Garment dyeing
Color stays in Los Angeles, too.
Garments are dyed and finished through our own local operation, giving us direct control over color development, consistency, and finishing from batch to batch. This also allows us to hold garments undyed and bring color into the process as demand calls for it.
We work with Bluesign®- and GOTS-approved dyes and offer processes including pigment dye, tie-dye, dip dye, mineral wash, acid wash, sun fade, and hand distressing.
Quality control & packing
Nothing ships from a third-party fulfillment facility.
Finished garments move through our own quality control and warehouse teams for inspection, folding, packing, and shipping. Keeping this final step in-house gives us visibility through the very end of the process — from the fabric we started with to the product that arrives at your door.
