What’s the biggest item you can produce?

Our team has manufactured everything from small components to large-scale padded wraps and covers. We can accommodate oversized projects—just send your specifications and we’ll review feasibility.

What materials do you work with?

We work with a wide range of performance and industrial textiles, including:

• Cordura, nylon, and polyester
• Natural woven materials such as wool and cotton canvas
• Webbing, mesh, and foam
• Plastics, electronics, metals
• Leather and synthetic leather
• Berry-compliant and MIL-SPEC fabrics

We can source materials or use customer-supplied goods.

What’s your typical project timeline?

Production timelines vary and depend on product complexity, volume, and fabric lead times. We look at each program individually, the customer’s needs and our capacity to determine a delivery timeline.

Do you handle small or large production runs?

Yes, we scale from small to high-volume production. Whether you need 10 units for field testing or you’re a government contractor needing 50,000, we’ve got you covered.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

MOQs vary by product and complexity. Depending on the technicalities of a project, we can offer flexible options to accommodate low-volume orders for prototyping or initial launches. However, for on-going projects, we are more likely to do lower order quantities on a consistent basis for oversized or high-cost products. Our ability to take on lower quantity contracts is contingent upon the potential growth of the products as well as our capacity at the time of inquiry. 

Do you provide samples before full production?

Yes. We create samples or prototypes based off customer provided specs or samples, so you can review and approve form, fit, and function before committing to a full run.

How do you price your projects?

Pricing is based on:

• Material and sourcing costs
• Sewing and labor complexity
• Training and set up
• Order quantity
• Packaging and fulfillment needs

We provide transparent, custom quotes after reviewing your tech pack, sample, or detailed specs.

How can I request a quote?

Email us your project details—product description, quantity, material lists, and deadline. Including technical drawings or photos helps us to more accurately price things and respond faster.

How do I place an order?

Once your quote is approved, we’ll guide you through sampling, production planning, and delivery scheduling. We accept purchase orders or signed order forms to begin work.

What is your return or warranty policy?

We stand by our quality. If a product fails to meet agreed-upon specifications, we offer replacements or repairs for causes that are in our control. Warranty terms and quality specs are customized per contract or PO.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. While most of our work supports U.S.-based clients, we can ship internationally upon request. Shipping costs and regulations will be factored into your quote.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. We routinely sign NDAs for confidential commercial and government projects. Your intellectual property and trade secrets are protected.

What are your sustainability practices?

Amerisewn prioritizes material efficiency, waste reduction, and ethical sourcing. We continually invest in process improvements and equipment that can help reduce our environmental impact while maintaining high-quality output. We also donate to local reuse centers and businesses whenever possible.
