COATS USA

Many years ago when I was working at a school for aggressive students, I realized that there might be a market for protective clothing when working with students that bite, kick and punch. I was looking around trying to put together options to create something and found coats as a supplier for stronger threads and fabrics. They were very helpful in answering my questions and were able to work with me on getting a few samples in. Ultimately my ideas did not go to fruition. Too many hoops and too many issues to go through. I just wish they were more of a one stop shop because I enjoyed their knowledgeable staff.

Strengths: industrial strength workwear threads and zippers

Needs to improve: not a full manufactur of apparel, just the components

We originally reached out to COATS USA to see if they could provide a specialized material that we needed for one of our products. Though we ended up not sourcing any product from COATS due to putting our product on hold, we were very impressed by what we did see. They have a vast selection of products with a range of quality to choose from. The guys over there seemed very knowledgeable and willing to work to get the right product for our needs. Should we restart that particular product line we will definitely be sourcing the material from COATS USA.
