George Powell began his career with the F.B.I. (Federal Bureau of Investigation) before entering the apparel industry with JC Penney in 1978. After 14 years as a corporate buyer and product development manager, George became the Vice President of Corporate Accounts for Zeppelin, a young men's premium clothing brand in early 1992. He made a substantial impact at both companies by reducing costs, increasing margins and amassing sales volume. Mr. Powell then joined Synergy and helped to create a Direct-to-Retailer (Factory Direct Marketing) business model. That model is used today by most major retailers and provides a more transparent and profitable equation for all parties.

"I'm excited to join JD Hutt and to have the opportunity to continue my passion in the apparel industry, especially as it pertains to building a business based on sustainability, " commented George Powell. "I've seen a lot of areas in the textile industry where waste is prevalent. From material waste to air pollution and most significantly the amount of water it takes to grow cotton.

“In some areas it can take up to 3,600 gallons of water to grow enough cotton to make a single pair of jeans. With our current knowledge and practices we can reduce the harm to the environment in significant ways. My passion on environmental issues will lead the Company to become a leader in sustainable apparel. We will embrace the change and become the ecopreneurs of the industry."
