Hauppauge, New York—With recent news of rising import tariffs creating unexpected cost burdens for apparel buyers, Royal Apparel is stepping up to support promotional product companies, brands, decorators, and retailers as a Made-in-USA apparel manufacturer.
As tariff hikes take effect on imported goods, Royal Apparel is hearing from many in the industry that overseas apparel orders, placed months ago, are now arriving with surprise tariffs. Customers have also shared how these last-minute tariffs dramatically increase their landed cost, wiping out profit margins on goods sold based on outdated cost assumptions.
In some cases, Royal Apparel is now seeing imported apparel priced higher than U.S. made garments.
Royal Apparel’s response:
• All-time high stock position, with deep inventory across a wide range of fabrics, yarns, styles, colors, and sizes.
• Factory-direct U.S. production (knitting, dyeing, cutting, sewing) gives you stable pricing, faster turnaround, and supply chain transparency.
• Custom apparel programs shifting back to the U.S. helping customers pivot with ease.
For more than 30 years, “made in USA” has not just been a trend at Royal Apparel. From knitting their own premium fabrics to sewing final garments, Royal Apparel does everything stateside.
Today, less than three percent of apparel sold in the U.S. is made here.
