About us
THIS IS WHY WE EXIST
- Make clothing that stands apart.
Starting on day one, we set out to make clothing of exceptional quality for people who want something different than the status quo. Our first item, the Classic Full Zip, was called “The Greatest Hoodie Ever Made” and our customers have been wearing the CFZ proudly for over 10 years. We’ve brought that same ethos to everything we’ve sold since then.
- Grow jobs for people who need them.
When you buy Apparel Slick, you support seamsters, cutters, and factory workers in towns and cities across the U.S. It’s more than an income: jobs bring pride, purpose, and stitch people together.
- Revitalize local communities.
We want to make the communities where we operate better places to live. Re-opening factories that were shuttered, bringing back jobs that were offshored...this is just the start of the good we can do by re-investing in our local places.
AN EXTRAORDINARY COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
No matter what item you choose, you’ll find these things to be true:
DURABLE.NOT DISPOSABLE.
We make products from quality materials that are built to last, in straightforward styles that endure beyond trends. Unlike most stuff you can buy, it's made to be worn—and not end up in a landfill.
COMMUNITY POWERED SUPPLY CHAIN.
Everything we make is made possible by a supply chain of people who touch the product, make it better and in turn are supported and strengthened. Through our partnership, they gain skills and opportunity, and their communities are revitalized. It’s a virtuous cycle of good and humanity.
MADE RIGHT.RIGHT HERE.
We make our products in the USA because keeping things close means we can better control our supply chain—and in turn, our quality, service, and footprint.
