How We Make It: Hybrid at Luthai — Scientifically Better

Name of Factory

Luthai

Location:

Cần Thơ, Vietnam

What we make there:

Luthai is a world-renowned vertically-integrated shirt fabric maker and manufacturer. Their expertise ranges from traditional cotton broadcloths, to our favorite custom-milled blended-fiber knits such as in our Hybrid shirts.

Because Luthai operates both the fabric mill and garment factories - they have the ability to utilize machinery specific to each fabric type to create the optimal shirt.

Team:

With our partners Jay Apparel, we’ve been able to develop an array of custom performance fabrics for our shirting, and optimized production processes that allow ease of care and a crisp aesthetic all day. The factory is WRAP certified insuring responsible and fair working conditions for all workers.

Why we chose them:

Luthai is one of the best shirt-makers due to their vertically integrated production which goes all the way back to the fabric and fiber level. This allows us to innovate not just in construction, but also a holistic approach to fabric and shirt integration:

Laminated sleeve presses for a crisp seam.
In-house laboratory for shirt durability and button strength.
Automated collar forming presses for a 3-D collar shape that lasts.
Collar and cuff point forming machines for sharp edges.
On-site personalization and embroidery capabilities.
