HISTORY
In 2002, Wen Nance, the founder of Trinity Apparel Group was disappointed in the usual suppliers of made-to-measure production. It seemed to Wen, and several of his clothier colleagues, that the goal of these suppliers was to provide the lowest common denominator of quality and style but to charge a premium for uninspiring clothing. Why was there no better solution? In a moment of entrepreneurial inspiration, while admiring a beautiful sport shirt and noticing the country of origin on the label, Wen asked himself a question: “Why has no one developed a made-to-measure solution using offshore production?” With this question burning in his mind, Wen set out to prove that a business platform could be developed around the idea of mass customization using offshore manufacturing. From the beginning, Wen knew three critical questions had to be successfully answered regarding:
Yes, the ability of offshore manufacturing could meet Wen’s quality specifications and exceed what was available domestically. Yes, these quality garments could be manufactured and delivered to the customer equal to or faster than domestic manufacturers. Finally, yes, these quality garments could be offered at lower prices creating unequaled value. The successful answers to these three questions contributed to the company name, Trinity Apparel Group. In 2003, Wen combined his retail custom clothing business with two partners after organizing Trinity Apparel Group. The retail division was named Latham Thomas after Wen’s two young sons. The business strategy was to be profitable enough in the retail business to support the development of Trinity’s production platform and wholesale business. The partners, retailers themselves, proved to be a significant asset in developing the supply chain. By intimately understanding the challenges for retailers and having made literally thousands of consumer transactions, Trinity reverse engineered the production platform beginning with the transaction and working backwards to the factory floor. In March 2004, the company was ready to supply the leading independent clothiers in America. Trinity Apparel officially launched beyond select development accounts. Latham Thomas grew to five markets and proved to be the ideal laboratory for perfecting the Trinity production platform. Bill Kneisel joined Trinity as an equity partner in 2006, replacing an original partner who left the industry. Bill’s contribution to the company accelerated its growth velocity and allowed Wen to concentrate fully on the continual improvement of the products, platform, and systems. Trinity’s early success led to a decision to spin Latham Thomas off from Trinity Apparel Group in 2008. Wen and Bill acquired the wholesale equity and sold their retail equity to their third partner in an amicable business separation. By exiting the retail business, Wen, Bill, and the Trinity staff were able to fully devote themselves to the rapidly growing wholesale company. Since then, Trinity has continued to be the leader in mass customized apparel manufacturing. With a passion for continual improvement, product innovation, and technology, Trinity has become a global force in the apparel industry. Trinity entered the Canadian and United Kingdom markets in 2011 and has seen impressive growth rates domestically and abroad even during challenging economic times. In 2012, with offices in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and China, in addition to growing global distribution, Trinity is continuing to invest in its future and in the future of its clothiers, tailors and retailers. The launch of iDesign STUDIO has caused many to rethink custom apparel retailing. This type of industry leading innovation has become expected from Trinity. With an already impressive list of accomplishments and a passion for continual improvement, the future is an exciting frontier for everyone associated with Trinity Apparel Group.

TESTIMONIALS
I am probably iDesign Studio’s biggest fan. I’ve already sold two Sportcoats by sending pics from my iPad. I also had a new young customer last week who told me that once we get his first garment fitted, he will buy a ton of clothing and all I will have to do is send him pics by email! It is perfect for showing guys the “tricked out” shirts. I am using it every day, and keep in mind my wife calls me Fred Flintstone when it comes to technology. Thanks again, Jeff Murphy J Murphy Clothing I want to thank you for the amazing work you’ve done to give us iDesign Studio. This is a game changer. The first time I had one of my best customers say "make up those three jackets and email them to me" I realized I had a powerful tool in my hand. He was asking me to (virtually) make up three or four jackets from the Dorsilk folder so he could see which ones he wanted to buy. He loved it, and so did I. This customer buys lots of plain suits, but didn't have a comfort level looking at patterned Sportcoat fabrics. With Studio, he decided on two he liked when he saw what they would look like...and he wanted the shirts I used in the images as well. As you know I'm a big fan of what Trinity does for my business. Trinity allows me to run my production, planning, marketing, and customer service all in the cloud, and makes it look like I have a group of MIT software engineers working for me behind the scenes making sure I have the coolest and most effective tools in the industry, and eliminates all the “paperwork” too. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Alan Vinson JT Vinson Co. I wanted to share my 1st experience using iDesign Studio during an appointment! Client called & said I need couple of sport coats. I did some “homework” for him - put together 5 complete outfit images on my tablet. I shared the photos with him and he picked three! I asked if he needed a black blazer and created a blazer outfit with the Nickel Griffin buttons right in front of him & his wife - “I‘ll take it too. And can you make a blazer for my new associate?” Needless to say, one can increase their average transaction quickly! Pictures are worth a thousand words....I‘d say they're worth a few thousand dollar$!!!! Thanks for changing the way men visually buy their clothes....It DEFINITELY works! Blessings! Jonathan Ehrhardt J Ehrhardt Clothing I wanted to pass along my testimonial regarding iDesign Studio; it has been profusely productive for me and has resulted in 12k in sales within the first two weeks and is laying the groundwork for more revenue. The ability to distance me from my competitors and provide an extremely professional image to my clientele has completely changed the landscape of my business and value proposition. I have received rave reviews from some of my most successful clients.This is one business tool that provides immediate monetary return on time invested. I highly recommend this technology to any dealer who wants to work smarter and not harder. Thank you for your continued efforts to be the leader in the garment supplier marketplace. Enthusiastically, Mark B. Fonseca Fonseca Clothiers I am delighted to be working with Trinity Apparel Group. Trinity has been very supportive in helping me run my business the way I want. They provide a quality product with impeccable customer service and continually give their dealers access to more tools to be powerful, successful entrepreneurs. I’ve just started using the iDesign STUDIO system and I know this software will revolutionize the way I do business. I feel very grateful to be working with such a forward thinking, supportive manufacturing company. Sincerely, Mary Beth Manchin. Manchin Inc. TECHNOLOGY
