FAQ

What is the Berry Amendment and why does it matter for textile sourcing?

The Berry Amendment requires the Department of Defense to procure certain items, including textiles and clothing, from US-made sources. If you supply military contracts, you need a Berry Amendment–compliant manufacturer like Beverly Knits.

Do these Gaston County textile manufacturers sell to individuals or only businesses?

All listed manufacturers are B2B suppliers and explicitly do not serve individual consumers or small-scale projects. Minimum order quantities and contract terms apply.

What lead times should I expect for custom textile manufacturing?

Lead times vary by product complexity, but custom yarn, fabric, or thread orders typically require several weeks to months depending on whether R&D development, custom dyeing, or specialized construction is involved. Contact the manufacturer directly for quotes.

What certifications should I look for in a B2B textile supplier?

Relevant certifications include Cradle to Cradle for sustainability (held by American & Efird), Berry Amendment compliance for military work, and NCTO membership indicating domestic manufacturing commitment. Your industry may require additional certs like OEKO-TEX or ISO standards.

Can these manufacturers develop custom fabric or yarn specifications?

Yes—Parkdale Mills offers customized yarn solutions, Beverly Knits develops custom fabric constructions through R&D, and American & Efird produces technical textiles tailored to automotive, medical, and apparel applications.
