About Hartwell Apparel
Hartwell Apparel is celebrating 70 years as one of the nation's premier suppliers to the promotional products industry! The company was started in 1939 as a manufacturer of men's work clothes and uniforms with a mission of delivering top-quality garments at a high level of customer service. Since then Hartwell Apparel has become known as one of the leaders in the design and sales of decorated and blank garments to the promotional products industry in a broad category of products including outerwear, wovens, dress shirts, polos, work wear, moisture management items, hats, bags, and accessories. Hartwell’s all encompassing product line allows it to be the uniform supplier of choice being able to outfit everyone in a company.
In 2005 Patriarch Partners LLC purchased Hartwell Apparel giving us the competitive edge to market ourselves with new and innovative products, expand product lines, strengthen our presence as a distribution company, and respond to the demands of the promotional decorated products industry.
Today the company is at the forefront of product value. Companies and individuals in this economy are not looking only for a low cost product. They want great value, and with that value they want innovation and style. That is what Hartwell Apparel is all about. Our moisture management products are the best in the industry and they can be paired with both classic styled jackets or new fashion forward outerwear styles.
