No. 01 / Why we exist

Most organizations want better merchandise. They just don’t know how to create it, or where to source it.

The usual answer is a promo catalog and a logo on a blank tee. It gets handed out once and ends up in a drawer. We think the people who show up for your organization deserve something they reach for on their own: the right fabric, a considered fit, colors that are actually yours, finished with the care of a real apparel brand.

No. 02 / How it started

From one club to every kind.

  1. 01

    2023

    Made for his own clubs.

    Ethan Scher started making apparel in 2023 for his own college clubs. The options were the same everywhere: pick a blank from a catalog, press a logo on it, hope people wear it.

  2. 02

    Next

    Built properly, from the fabric up.

    So he went further. He worked directly with manufacturers to build the pieces properly: the fabric, the fit, the color, the label inside the neck. Members wore them. Other clubs asked for the same.

  3. 03

    Now

    Stitched, then Member Threads.

    That work became Stitched. Member Threads is how we bring it to every kind of organization, with a catalog to start from, a designer to shape it, and one clear price.

No. 03 / Included

Included, every time.

    A dedicated designer

    One person owns your collection from first sketch to final proof. Bring a logo and a few references; no design team needed.

    Embroidery, custom colors, extra print locations and design are built into one per-piece price, quoted before anything is made.

  • 03

    Reorders on file

    Every approved piece is saved to your organization, so next season’s run starts where the last one left off.

  • 04

No. 05 / The roster

Any group with a name.

If you have 36 people who’d wear it, we can make it.

  1. 01

    University clubs

    Recruitment drops, exec board pieces and the hoodie everyone wears to the library.

  2. 02

    Companies

    Onboarding kits, conference gear and team gifts that feel like a brand, not a booth.

  3. 03

    Nonprofits

    Apparel that unifies volunteers, thanks supporters and sells well enough to fund the mission.

  4. 04

    Teams & fitness

    Off-field lifestyle pieces for the people who show up every week.

  5. 05

    Clubs & associations

    Quiet, embroidered pieces that signal membership to the people who know.
