Made in the USA
April 29, 2025
With Chinese tariffs on the rise, we’re proud to offer a strong domestic supply chain solution through our partnership with Revolution Performance Fabrics—a brand proudly woven in the USA. From faster turnaround times and superior quality control to reduced environmental impact and price stability, now is the perfect time to explore the benefits of American-made products. We’re committed to helping our customers stay competitive with reliable, high-quality, tariff-free alternatives.
ADVANTAGES OF DOMESTICALLY MADE PRODUCTS
Quality Control: Manufacturing in the United States allows for greater control over the production process, ensuring higher quality standards and consistency in the final products for both Revolution Fabrics and Pletcher Sales Inc.
Faster Turnaround Times: Domestic production often leads to quicker lead times and more agile supply chains compared to international sourcing, benefiting Pletcher Sales Inc.'s ability to meet the demands of its wholesale clients efficiently.
Reduced Environmental Impact: Domestic production minimizes the carbon footprint associated with long-distance shipping, aligning with a growing emphasis on sustainability for both companies and their customers.
Support for Local Economy and Job Creation: By choosing domestically made products, both companies contribute to job creation and the economic well-being of American communities.
Innovation and Collaboration: Proximity facilitates closer collaboration between manufacturers and design teams, fostering innovation and the ability to tailor products to specific market needs.
POTENTIAL REDUCTION IN COSTS DUE TO CHINA TARIFFS
The current landscape of international trade includes significant tariffs on goods imported from China. For companies like Pletcher Sales Inc. that may have previously sourced some materials or products from China, a partnership with a domestic supplier like Revolution Fabrics offers a strategic advantage:
Avoiding Tariff Costs: By increasing their reliance on domestically produced Revolution Fabrics, Pletcher Sales Inc. can directly reduce or eliminate the costs associated with tariffs imposed on Chinese imports of comparable materials. Recent tariffs have seen substantial increases, making domestically sourced alternatives more cost-competitive.
Price Stability: Domestic sourcing can lead to more stable pricing, as costs are less susceptible to the fluctuations and uncertainties of international trade policies and tariffs.
Mitigating Supply Chain Risks: Relying on domestic partners reduces the risks of supply chain disruptions that can arise from international trade disputes, port congestion, and other global factors, potentially leading to cost savings in the long run through more reliable production schedules.

Festive Fun in the Showroom!
December 4, 2024
We had an absolutely wonderful time today kicking off our Holiday Craft Days in the showroom! There’s nothing better than seeing our space filled with the buzz of creativity, laughter, and holiday cheer.
A heartfelt thank-you goes out to all the amazing customers, designers, and team members who took time out of their day to join us. From handmade wreaths and hand-tied ribbons to glittering ornaments and festive bows, each project brought its own unique charm. The creativity on display was truly inspiring, and watching everyone put their own spin on the season’s décor reminded us why we love what we do.
It wasn’t just about the crafts—it was about community. Sharing stories, sipping cider, and enjoying the company of friends old and new made the day all the more meaningful. Events like these remind us that the holidays are really about connection—and we’re so grateful to celebrate with such a talented and thoughtful group.
This is just the beginning! We’re looking forward to more craft days ahead, and we hope to see even more familiar (and new) faces as we continue spreading holiday joy throughout the season.

We’re proud to share that our new Mother’s Room is officially open!
November 13, 2024
This cozy and private space was created with care to support nursing moms on our team. Whether you need a quiet moment to pump, nurse, or simply step away during a busy day, this room offers a clean, comfortable environment designed to make that time feel a little easier.
With soft lighting, comfortable seating, and thoughtful touches throughout, the space is meant to feel calm and welcoming. It’s tucked away for privacy but close enough to be accessible, making it easy to step in when needed. While it may be a small addition to our building, it represents something bigger—a genuine commitment to supporting work-life balance and the real, everyday needs of our team.
We’re excited to offer this space and proud to keep building a workplace where people—and families—come first.
