Red Thread Company is a small batch apparel manufacturing and product development shop based in Nashville, Tennessee. The business provides pattern drafting, pattern grading, sample and product development, technical packet design, and small batch apparel and soft goods manufacturing services. It works with both knit and woven materials and serves independent designers and business owners who need help moving a clothing or soft goods concept from idea to finished, produced product.
Services
Red Thread Company offers an end-to-end set of development and production services. Engagements typically begin with a consultation, described as an initial phone call or in-person meeting that is free, during which the company guides clients through its processes, timelines, and costs. Additional consultations on specific designs are billed at $100 per hour.
The company develops detailed technical packets, described on the site as “detailed and user friendly technical packets” that include a breakdown of all necessary materials, notions, and call-outs along with step-by-step construction guidance. These are available as a full tech pack or as a construction call-out sheet only. For pattern work, the company accepts sketches, photos, rough or fully developed prototypes, or written notes, and it states that all patterns are hand drafted in house on alpha-numeric paper, with digital copies and manila pattern paper options available on request. Existing physical or digital patterns from clients are also accepted.
During product and sample development, an initial sample is sewn and returned for fit testing, with multiple sample rounds available based on the design changes needed; production cost per unit is calculated during this phase. The company also grades patterns by hand in house, with digitized copies available upon request. For manufacturing, minimums are as low as 1 to 30 units per style depending on colorways, and capacity reaches 600 to 1,000 units per single order. Clients provide their own fabrics and, preferably, notions, as the company offers only partial notion sourcing.
