Way Out West Inc.'s custom sewing and private label experience spans a wide range of industries
and needs including
airplane, occupational health and safety, pharmaceutical,
technology clean rooms, baby apparel and accessories, pet accessories, athletic gear, protective materials, and promotions. This has resulted in an extensive knowledge base of fabrics and materials - how to work with them, alternative options and their most appropriate usages. We can often recommend an alternate fabric that would be more appropriate or cost-effective and are able to quickly adapt for new types of materials.
We are a licensed source of DuPont™ fabrics. As a result, we have a long history using their products, often in the creation of protective hoods and clothing.
