The Todd Shelton Clothing Factory

All Todd Shelton products are made inside our East Rutherford, NJ factory. Owning our own factory gives us the manufacturing flexibility to help each customer meet their individual fit requirements.

Our seamstresses are trained to make garments start-to-finish and we use over 50 sewing machines to make our products. Below is our factory floor plan.

The Production Process

The production process starts with a seamstress choosing 4 to 8 products in the production queue. The products are chosen based on the ship dates quoted to customers and the thread color required during production. We call the sum of the products chosen a batch.

Above is a production label. The seamstress prints production labels at the computer outside of the shipping room. Each customers fit options are printed on the label.

The seamstress gathers fabrics and patterns needed for their batch. All fabrics (excluding Raw denim) are pre-washed to remove shrinkage before cutting – the washed fabric is folded and housed in our fabric room. The patterns are in the pattern room.

With the fabric and patterns prepared, the seamstress begins cutting. After cutting, she moves the cut garments on a mobile cart into a production room and begins sewing. For reference, one seamstress can cut, sew, and press 3.5 jeans or pants in an 8 hour shift.

The seamstress ensures all measurements are accurate during the production process. Once complete, the seamstress delivers the finished products to the shipping room where they go through a measurement check and final quality inspection before being shipped to the customer.

Customer Service

After the order ships, the customer service team is responsible for ensuring the customer is satisfied with the product and fit.

The customer service team sends each customer an email about 7 days after their order ships. The purpose is to make sure the customer is satisfied. If adjustments are necessary, an exchange is initiated. If the customer is satisfied at the 7 day mark, customer service sends another email 45 days later to confirm the customer is wearing the product as planned.
