HOW WE OPERATE
Our Company was founded on the belief that owning
and operating our manufacturing facilities and con-
trolling every step of the production cycle was the
best way to make great apparel. Starting from spinning
cotton and other fibres into yarn through to assembling
the final garments and distributing our products, we
prefer to do it all with our vertically integrated business
model.
Our manufacturing operations are headquartered
in Honduras, where we have our largest production
base. Our yarn-spinning operations are all located in
the United States, while textile, sewing, and sock man-
ufacturing operations take place across our Central
American, Caribbean and Bangladesh hubs.
For more information on our facilities see our 2020
Annual Report or visit the Our Factories page on our
website.

Approximately 90% of our sales derive
from products we manufacture, which
means we have direct control of our
operations, allowing us to implement
industry-leading practices when it comes
to ESG.
