Apparel sourcing for brands

Many mills.
One standard.

Threadline matches every garment in your range to the mill best suited to make it — then manages it, through one team, to delivery.

01 — Matched

Each piece
to its maker.

Jersey from a knitter. Denim from a denim specialist. Tailoring from tailors. Never one factory stretched across everything.

02 — Managed

One brief.
One contact.

Sampling, approvals, quality checks and shipping, coordinated so your range arrives as one collection.

Your whole range, brought together.

Our approach

Good clothing is sourced, not simply ordered.

Most brands work with one or two factories and ask them to make everything. Quality drifts on the pieces they are not built for, and the brand absorbs the cost.

We start from the garment. Fabric, construction and volume decide where it is made — and we stay accountable for the result, from first sample to final carton.

Materials

The fabric decides where it is made.

We source cloth and garment together, so the mill that weaves a twill is never a stranger to the factory that cuts it.

  • KnitsJersey, piqué, rib, fleece, French terry
  • YarnsCotton, wool, linen, recycled blends
Buttons, zip pulls, drawcord, blank labels and thread spools arranged in a grid

Buttons, zips, labels and packaging are sourced to one specification across every maker, so a range feels like one brand.
