The North Face builds on US-made ranges
08/03/2016
In November 2014, the company launched its first cotton hoody that was grown, designed, cut and sewn within 150 miles of its headquarters in Alameda, California.
“The Backyard Project is about knowing which farms grew your cotton, who spun the yarn, or how your product was dyed. We learned a lot during Backyard’s 2014 introduction and challenged ourselves to produce a bigger run of locally sourced clothing this season,” said Sumi Scott, director of sportswear at the North Face.
The cotton was ginned in California and Arizona and spun into yarn in South Carolina, before being dyed, cut and sewn in Los Angeles.
