CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
The mission of Royal Apparel has been to produce Made in the USA, eco-friendly apparel at the highest quality for consumers. Over the past few years, Royal Apparel has tripled in size; allowing us to reinvest into the company. We have been able to expand our headquarters, add a new fabric facility with a robotic cutter and a new ERP System. Not to mention, adding new members to our team. As time keeps ticking, more and more Americans (80% as of 2020) have been willing to pay more for the guarantee that what they're buying is durable and American made.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We're committed to creating a safe environment for our employees (and our planet). All Royal Apparel facilities comply with environmental laws and regulations. Low impact, fiber reactive dyes that do not contain any heavy metal or toxic substances are used alongside recycled water and sustainable materials like organic cotton, viscose bamboo, viscose hemp and rpet. As new technologies develop, we're committed to offering high-quality eco-friendly products. Our products are made with Domestic and Imported Yarns, based on yarn availability and current market status.
