Men's & Boys' Furnishgs, Work Clothg, & Allied Garments

The SIC 2320 category covers manufacturers of men’s and boys’ furnishings, work clothing, and allied garments, spanning dress shirts, ties, underwear, outerwear, workwear uniforms, and protective apparel sold to department stores, big-box retailers, specialty menswear chains, industrial distributors, and government or corporate uniform programs. Core services include pattern design, contract manufacturing, private-label production, and just-in-time fulfillment for school districts, public safety agencies, hospitality operators, and construction firms. Major risks center on volatile cotton and synthetic input costs, tariff shifts, wage pressures in offshore factories, CPSIA labeling and flammability standards, OSHA-compliant protective gear requirements, and ESG scrutiny over labor practices. In 2024-2025, the sector is leaning into recycled and traceable textiles, nearshoring to shorten lead times, digital product customization, AI-driven demand forecasting, and tighter inventory control to mitigate retail softness.
