”Apparel Productions manufactured my clothing collection for almost 15 years. Our wholesale volume went up to $50 million dollars. We sold the company about 15 years ago and I’m still hearing from our store clients and from ladies who still wear and love our clothes! There is no better place to trust with your manufacturing. 'Made in New York' meant so very much to all of our customers and to the ladies who wear our clothes.

FAQs About Domestic Sample Production
How does your domestic production differ from overseas suppliers?
Domestic production means in-person fittings, real-time communication, and minimal shipping delays. Our on-site pattern makers can adjust or correct garments on the spot, streamlining the entire process and ensuring higher accuracy.
Do you offer special terms for importers who produce offshore?
Yes. We waive charges for New York patterns on off-shore production orders. This arrangement enables importers to benefit from high-precision domestic pattern development while completing bulk manufacturing overseas.
Can you handle pattern grading and marking?
Absolutely. Our state-of-the-art CAD system manages precise edits, detailing, and sizing. Marking and grading services ensure that each garment meets exact fit specifications, whether the order is large or small.
Why is your in-house facility crucial for fast turnaround?
Having a dedicated, on-site team in New York City lets us address issues immediately. Client staff can join production fittings, eliminating delays and communication gaps, which speeds up sample creation and pattern revisions.
What if my style is more complex than average?
Certain styles may require additional pattern work or fitting sessions. Complexity can affect costs, which we outline in the tables on this page. We remain transparent about any extra fees so you can plan accordingly.
