Essentials contracts PacSun, which works with Dragon Crowd, a manufacturer in Ningbo, China that also makes Vans and Foot Locker products. Dragon Crowd sources fabrics through a global supplier network and responds to inquiries from its California office within a day and a half.
Here's how Essentials makes their clothing. Dragon Crowd is a global manufacturer based in Ningbo in China. PacSun, or Pacific Sunwear, are the people who are in charge of the manufacturing contract on behalf of Essentials. They work directly with the reps at Dragon Crowd to source Essentials' product. They can pretty much make anything because their network is so wide that they have access to all sorts of fabrics, trimmings, and so on. Other brands they manufacture for include Vans, Zoomies, and Foot Locker clothing. What's amazing is that they have an office in California and getting in contact is super easy. They have a button on their website and they answered me in about a day and a half, so you should expect the same. Let me know which product you want to see next.
