Los Angeles Business Journal

"End of the Line" by Howard Fine

Examines the trend in L.A.-based businesses to abandon mass production; many companies, like Alternative, are now focusing on custom and specialized production which require design skill and knowledge.

Excerpt:
Design is also integral to the manufacturing that takes place at Alternative, a Los Angeles-based T-shirt and headwear maker. The garment maker has a design lab in downtown Los Angeles where it comes up with custom designs for its T-shirts. The manufacturing work itself is more complex than at many garment shops because the company uses high-end finishes and "dye gain" fabrics.
"We choose to make innovative garments like these in L.A. because intense onsite coordination is required and there are many capable specialty factories to choose from in L.A.," said Evan Toporek, Alternative’s chief operating officer.

Alternative often plans for colors and styles six-plus months in advance, watching the markets closely to stay ahead - that's why many brand managers and manufacturers use the blank-slated t-shirts for designing their own lines. But that doesn't deter retail customers from using the shirts as bases for their funkier attire.
