Todd Shelton
Todd Shelton is an American fashion brand founded in 2002 by Tennessee native Todd Shelton.[1] The brand's collections are manufactured within the company's New Jersey headquarters and sold exclusively online.[2] The Todd Shelton factory and showroom are headquartered East Rutherford, New Jersey.[3]
Collections
[edit]Todd Shelton designs and manufactures made-to-order jeans, shirts, pants and t-shirts for men.[4] The company have a U.S. factory that offers e-commerce customers ways to personalize their button-down shirts or jeans with multiple-fit choices, such as straight or tapered leg, or the length of a sleeve, or shirttail.[5]
Manufacturing
[edit]Todd Shelton is an American-Made Men's Clothing Brand.[6] The brand's manufacturing puts a twist on online shopping. At the intersection of off-the-rack and bespoke tailoring.[7][8][9]
Todd Shelton's company owns 55 sewing machines, a fusing machine and a handful of other specialty machines that help make their line of T-shirts, button-downs and jeans. The brand initially began by outsourcing, but in 2006, Todd Shelton moved all manufacturing to factories in the USA.[10] Then, as Shelton grew increasingly frustrated by the supply chain and being dependent on manufacturer's timelines and frequent fickleness, he scaled things back and, in 2012, opened his own factory.
