We are joined by Neal Caplowe, founder and owner of Sport Science, a "Made in the USA" t-shirt company. It wasn’t always that way - Sport Science originally manufactured shirts in Central America and Asia but decided to move the process to the US to achieve faster turn times and more control. Neal talks about how labor cost is one of the largest variables when considering domestic production. Has he ever considered returning to international production? Listen to find out!
Sport Science was founded in 2004 when Neal Caplowe found himself wanting a versatile performance shirt that wasn’t just for running and training. Using drirelease™ technology, the engineered yarn is made up of 85% synthetic/hydrophobic fibers and 15% natural/hydrophilic fibers. Sport Science products are made in the Carolinas within a 200 mile radius, cutting out nearly 7,850 miles of traveling and all the fuel that goes with it. Sport Science is proud to keep their carbon footprint small, as well as keep jobs in the USA.
