As a company built on science, we believe it’s important to understand how masks play a role in suppressing viral spread and to do our part to support these broader public health efforts.
We’re from Boston, a hub of the healthcare sector and many of our family and friends work in the field directly - and inspired by our namesake, the Ministry of Supply which designed, procured and deployed equipment and gear to those on the front lines - we believe this is our call to action to procure and produce equipment that can support healthcare workers.
Luthai is a world-renowned vertically-integrated shirt fabric maker and shirting manufacturer. Their expertise ranges from traditional cotton broadcloths, to our favorite custom-milled blended-fiber knits such as in our Hybrid shirts.
Tainan Enterprises is a factory group based out of Tainan, Taiwan with factories across South Asia. They’re specialists in casual garments, particularly with stretch bottoms - perfect for our Fusion Pants for men and Momentum Chinos. See behind the scenes of Tainan Enterprises’ Jakarta factory.
When we think about bringing newness to our product line, we use a variety of different approaches from introducing new silhouettes, new fabric platforms but also color.
We use Durable Water Repellants (DWR) in many of our core fabric platforms (Kinetic, Doppler and Momentum) to give them the ability to repel water and stay dry in the rain.
Singtex is one of our long-time partners who is a pioneer in the development and milling of sustainable performance yarns and fabrics. We use S.Cafe, one of their proprietary processes to create coffee-derived sustainable materials. It’s a collection of odor-controlling moisture-wicking, waterproof and insulative fabrics that are made of coffee grounds and recycled polyester.
We’ve just launched our latest edition of the Composite fabric which now features 45% recycled polyester blended with merino wool - it’s the evolution of our next-to-skin fabrics.
We’re inventors, and we love learning how and where things are made. Learn more about how we make Atlas Sweaters.
We’ve been working with Matsuoka for over 5 years in producing our Kinetic and Velocity suits and separates due to their expertise in tailored garments, skilled craftsmanship and machinery specific to blazers.
