Lets Work Together.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a brand. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative vision to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story with clothing can make all the difference.

A & K is dedicated to our clientele, and we offer development and production services to clients who we align with to exceed all of their goals. We understand that developing and manufacturing takes a lot and that is why we offer as much one on one support to our clients thru each step of the process. We are selective about our clientele because we want to make sure all of your needs and goals are met with the superb quality.

Full Package includes everything from A-Z. Basically we start with your idea and materials and guide you through every step until a fully packaged, ready to ship product is delivered. Partial Package is any part of this process on a need by basis and would require a price quote.

We work with all garments. We excel in both men and women's basics-tees, tanks, crop tops, hoodies, pullovers, sweatshirts, joggers, sweats, sweat shorts, long sleeve, raglans, woven shirts, denim, jackets. We also source already constructed men's and women's styles in PFD, blanks and wholesale available for your private label.

DEVELOPMENT

A & K prides itself on having the necessary resources, knowledge, network and facilities to take over any stages of development. Through each step and process, we will help guide our clients to ensure that the final product meets their needs and exceeds their expectations.

After initial introduction to determine if we are on the right track, an in person meeting with materials provided by the client (samples, patterns, fabrics, info. Etc.) will be held to determine how to materialize your project. Our highly regarded and well-trained pattern makers are excellent at interpreting your thoughts and wants when it comes to your garments. We can develop a first pattern from sketches, a tech pack or prototype or we can make changes to existing patterns depending on the digitized patterns provided.

SAMPLING

Samples created from sketches, tech or prototype are made to determine the fit, style lines, and draping of your fabric/trims. To ensure that the sample is to the your expectations, there may be several samples until the desired production sample is achieved. We will make fit appointments with you as we finish the carefully crafted samples and guide you through this process.

FABRIC AND TRIM SOURCING

A & K has an extensive network of fabric and trim resources to ensure the best possible product. Additionally, our studio is equipped with a wide range of fabric swatches to review at the stage of development. We work with local mills & suppliers to ensure quality required, minimize the torquing, bleeding and shrinking.

MARKING AND GRADING

A & K grades and creates all markers to specifications. After the desired base size fit sample is ready, A & K will grade and mark your pattern for production.

MANUFACTURING

As with development, all production is carefully attended by our team. This process includes cutting fabric, sewing garments and finishing (diligently inspect, trim, steam/press, labels, tags, bags and ship).

As a manufacturer agency, we pride ourselves in handling your project as if it was our own. A & K’s priority is to manufacture garments that not only exceed our customer’s expectations, but also stay true to the clients vision.
