A core tenet of the FutureStitch mission is to leave the world a better place—but how can we do that when over 3.3 billion socks end up in landfills each year? Enter UNLESS Collective. When they approached us with a vision to develop and manufacture a sock made from 100% oil-free biodegradable materials, we knew our values aligned. Our teams worked together for a year to create the Zilch sock. The Zilch sock decomposes naturally at the end of its lifecycle. Finding the right material mix was precision work. Blending organic cotton, corn-based yarns, natural rubber, and yarns extracted from wood fiber allowed us to achieve the perfect mixture of comfort and durability. Wear the socks out and let nature do the rest. https://lnkd.in/eP6CSxUz #SustainableFashion #BiodegradableSocks #CircularEconomy #EcoFashion #SustainableMaterials #EcoInnovation

Innovation at FutureStitch is about more than just products—it's about people too. Two years ago, Ana started on our production line. Over her time here, she has become a vital part of our company culture, eventually becoming our HR specialist. Having been formerly incarcerated, Ana’s perspective and empathy help her understand our employees like no one else. Ana embodies what it means to be a futurist- finding new and creative solutions to support our unique HR needs by blending her personal experience and technical skills. Ana's journey with FutureStitch is just beginning! 🌟 #incarcerationtoemployment #justiceimpacted #formerlyincarcerated #futurestitch #innovation #HR #peopleinnovation #peopleops

There’s a certain beauty in the knitting process. It’s about taking hundreds of threads and weaving them together into something intended to make the world a little comfier, a little cozier, and a little better. Our knitting technicians, like Mary, can make a sock in about three and a half minutes. We can do everything in-house in the USA—from development and design to production and manufacturing—allowing us to take an idea from concept to sock in days rather than months. #knitproduction #craftsmanship #knitinnovation #knitdesign #usamanufacturing #madeintheUSA #madeinUSA #circularfashion #circularknit #justiceimpacted #incarcerationtoemployment

Creating the perfect sock starts with the right skills and the right technology. At FutureStitch, we use high-end Italian circular knitting machines to produce our premium socks. Using this advanced equipment, we are able to knit socks without a seam on the toe, making them extremely comfortable and durable for long-term wear! Mary started on our production floor and now leads our knitting operations here in Oceanside! She trained for over a year to learn the intricacies of overseeing the knitting machines. #SockInnovation #CircularKnitting #PremiumKnitwear #TextileTech #SockDesign #futurestitch #justiceimpacted #incarcerationtoemployment #circularfashion

Have you heard of sublimation printing? Each day, FutureStitch team members like Angie make up to 4,000 pairs of socks using sublimation technology. Instead of using dye directly on the fabric, the ink is printed on a large roll of paper. The socks are then placed on the paper and fed through a high-heat printer that releases the dye and permeates the sock. We love sublimation because it has a very low environmental impact, and we can make socks super quickly—from one pair to a million! #SublimationPrinting #CustomSocks #SustainableApparel #FashionInnovation #justiceimpacted #incarcerationtoemployment

Some things just make each other better. Like peanut butter and jelly. Like Comrad and FutureStitch. We’ve loved our partnering with Comrad- not only because they’re just down the road from us, but also because they share a common vision: to create next level products that solve human problems. That’s exactly what we’ve done together. Blending FutureStitch’s in-house innovation expertise with Comrad’s mission to reinvent compression socks- we were able to solve huge issues for everyone who sits, stands and travels. Comrad socks feature premium materials, anatomical graded compression and thoughtful design. #InnovationCollaboration #CompressionSocks #SolvingHumanProblems #InnovationPartners #productdesign #productdevelopment
