Welcome to Week 3, Day 21  of My Dad vs. The Algorithm. Today we are talking about The Recipe. We see a lot of brands claiming "Made in USA" because they have a sewing room in downtown Los Angeles. But when you look at their fabric, it was knit, dyed, and finished overseas, then shipped here on a boat to be stitched together. My dad, Ira, calls this "The Frozen Pizza Method." Ira’s Take: "If you buy a frozen pizza from Italy and just heat it up in a New York oven, did you 'ma

Welcome to Week 3, Day 20  of My Dad vs. The Algorithm. Today we are talking about Structure. We recently had a customer try to make a classic Golf Polo using our 30/1 Combed Cotton Jersey .

It looked great, but the cuffs were loose and floppy. They asked: "Why doesn't the cuff stay up? It's the same color as the body." My dad, Ira, took one look at it and sighed. They had used a fine 1x1 Rib  on a heavy sweatshirt. Ira’s Reaction: "You sent a boy to do a man's job. You used a T-shirt rib on a Hoodie. A 1x1

Welcome to Week 3, Day 18  of My Dad vs. The Algorithm. Today we are talking about Sourcing Etiquette. We often get emails that say: "Hi, I'm starting a brand. Please send me swatches of your best fabrics. I don't know my quantities yet." This sounds harmless, but to a manufacturer, it’s a red flag. Not because we don't want to work with you, but because we don't know how  to work with you. My dad, Ira, has a simple rule for sourcing meetings. Ira’s Reaction: "I don't care if

Welcome to Week 3, Day 17  of My Dad vs. The Algorithm. A new customer recently called Ira in a panic. They had calculated that their t-shirt yield exactly to exactly 1 yard . They ordered exactly enough fabric for 500 shirts based on that yield. When the cutting was done, they were 75 shirts short . They assumed we shorted them on the fabric.

Day 17: Why Do My Pants Get Baggy? (The "Lazy Cotton" Theory) Welcome to Week 3, Day 17  of My Dad vs. The Algorithm. Today we are talking about The Baggy Knee. A designer recently asked my dad, Ira: "I want to make a skinny legging, but I want it to be 100% Cotton because my customers hate synthetic fabrics.
