How the list reads

One row per factory. Sort it your way.

This is how the Google Sheet is laid out. The rows below are examples to show the format, not real factories: the real Directory lists 80+ documented factories with their direct emails.

Method

How the Directory is built.

Not a scrape of supplier websites. Every entry has a status, and the status is earned on a factory floor.

  • Visited

    Visited in person

    Every listed factory has been visited in person by our team. We check that it is the factory doing the sewing, not a trading company.

  • Documented

    Documented on the spot

    Specialties, minimums, certifications on file, region and a direct contact email, recorded for each factory.

  • Refreshed

    Refreshed every quarter

    Contacts and minimums are checked again each quarter. Buy once and every update is included, for life.

  • Flagged

    Removed factories flagged

    When a factory comes off the list, the update says so, so you are not chasing a contact that no longer fits.

Inside the Directory

Browse by what you make.

Filter the Google Sheet by product family and by cluster. The tags below open our guide to each one, with minimums and lead times.

By productMinimum per style

By clusterSpecialisms, not a ranking

Custom-dyed fabric can raise the minimum per colorway: the mill sets the dye-lot minimum.

Two ways to start

Do the outreach, or let us place it.

The Directory is for brands who want full control of the conversation. A brief is for brands who want the factory chosen for them and the goods inspected before the balance.
