Leatherman

by

This Oregon-based hand tool company has been around for many years and proudly manufactures every product in the USA.  Over the past few years, their loyal customer base has asked for apparel.  The S Group design team worked closely with the engineers at Leatherman and developed a turbo-charged hoodie and tee shirt that carries the same values as the hand tools.  We sourced the finest cotton grown in America and worked with our partners in the Carolinas to convert this into yarns, fabrics, and then finished products.  This offering has gone global, and we are proud to see product being exported to major markets around the world.
