A Yupoong / Flexfit alternative made in USA.
Yupoong and Flexfit are Korean-headquartered brands that dominate the stretch-fit and Flexfit categories in the U.S. promotional market — almost entirely import-sourced. We make the domestic equivalent: closed-back fitted, stretch-band, decorated in our Denver factory.

Closed-back fitted with real stretch
Our fitted silhouette uses a domestic spandex blend in the sweatband — same stretch and fit as a Flexfit, in U.S. fabric.
Decoration directly in-house
No third-party decoration loop. Embroidery, leather patch, woven patch — all run on our floor on a single lead time.
Berry-eligible for federal programs
Yupoong/Flexfit can't bid on Berry-required contracts. We can.
