SAS Textiles, a Los Angeles based fashion fabrics marketer has launched SAS Sport line of synthetic performance fabrics developed for athletic, outdoor, and lifestyle customers.

SAS has utilised its wide range of equipment to offer a fully merchandised line of performance apparel knits including fine-gauge stretch fabrics, technical top weights, and novelties for post-workout comfort.

“The company stocks premium synthetics with unique performance attributes, from domestic and NAFTA/CAFTA qualified suppliers,” SAS said in a press release.

SAS Textiles also stocks eco-friendly fibres, including recycled polyester, organic and recycled cotton and Tencel.

“Our knitting capabilities, allow us to create performance fabrics that go beyond the basics, including hard-to-find structures such as meshes and spacers,” said CEO Sean Sassourian.

In addition, SAS is a partner in a cut-and-sew facility in Tijuana, Mexico, which is capable of shipping some 50,000 sportswear pieces per week, made from SAS fabrics.

“Our Made-in-USA fabrics are ideal for CAFTA programs as well as for super-quick turns at our Tijuana facility, which is only 100 miles away from our headquarters,” SAS added.

“Brands and retailers today want to work closer to season, and cannot deal with the increasing costs of shipping, lost time, and compliance issues implicit in overseas supply chains,” Sassourian noted.

Founded in 1992, SAS Textiles is a privately-held circular knitter and provider of textiles and finished apparel for the fashion and performance apparel trade.

With approximately 80 employees, the company recently moved to a new 165,000 sq. ft. facility, and has 133 circular knitting machines, capable of producing half a million pounds per week of knit fabrics. (AR)
