Fashion Brands Supporting Coronavirus Relief

[LA Guy]

Many brands and tailors all over the world have put a halt on their regular production and stepped up to help with the coronavirus crisis and the shortage of equipment we are currently facing.

I am posting this thread to make a list of all the people in the industry that are helping fight the coronavirus by either converting their production or making donations.

Feel free to post if you know of brands that are not mentioned in the lists, which we’ll update regularly.

not sure what you're saying but what does it even matter? Companies are helping at a time when it's needed........that's the point!

From some PR news on the athletic/outdoor side of the apparel world from this afternoon.

• Pack maker Mystery Ranch is using their Bozeman Mt. facility for masks and coordinating with local crafters
• Athletic insole brand Superfeet is using their WA facility to make masks using some 3D printing

• Seattle's Outdoor Research PR says,

" Outdoor Research has pledged to start producing masks for medical workers at a substantial clip—200,000 a day by June, according to an announcement the company made Monday. To do so, the gear and apparel brand will convert its Seattle factory to comply with FDA Class II guidelines, meaning it will be able to produce surgical masks and the much-needed N95 masks, in short supply across the nation,... "

Ship John is making masks to be donated and they're having a raffle if you buy gift cards from small businesses.

If you have any suitable fabric you're willing to purchase or donate to them to facilitate making more masks they would really appreciate it.

Langlitz leathers, Good Art, and Last US Bag Co. are also making masks to be donated.
