Garments
SLUG MFG.
All our products are deliberately designed, cut, and sewn in Washington State.
Materials used in our products are a mix of:
New - Material purchased by SLUG MFG for use in our products
Off-Cuts & Seconds - (Kind of Trash)
These off-cuts and ends, although new and functional, were rejected by, or left over from other manufacturers. These have been rejected or disposed of due to small flaws, or often because of the small sizes or quantities available. They can be both purchased and sourced.
Reclaimed or Salvaged - (Complete Garbage)
Materials cut from previously used consumer products. These materials are intercepted on their way to landfill and salvaged. This could be a tarp next to the trash, the vinyl from a defunct hot tub cover, or anything taken off of a product at its end-of-life. Salvaged materials are reclaimed, then cleaned and inspected for functional damage. Visual blemishes sometimes exist.
