Private Label & Contract Manufacturing
The partner behind the brands you trust.
For three decades, Nester Hosiery has designed, sourced, and manufactured premium socks for the world's leading outdoor and lifestyle brands — a full-service partner from concept through production, finishing, and fulfillment, at our own U.S. mill and through a vetted global supply network.
Your Product, Our Expertise
A partner for every step.
Whether you're launching a first program or scaling a national line, we operate as an extension of your team — translating your brief into a production-ready product and delivering it on spec, on time, and at the quality your customers expect.
Some programs are knit at our own mill in Mount Airy, North Carolina; others are produced through a vetted network of manufacturing partners. We help you choose the right path for each product — and bring the same design, sourcing, and quality expertise to every one.
What We Do
Full-service, end to end.
In-house design that turns a concept and a brief into a production-ready, market-ready product.
Decades of domestic and global supply-chain relationships across merino, synthetics, and specialty yarns — including responsible, traceable fibers — sourced to your spec.
Production matched to your program — premium knitting at our U.S. mill or through trusted manufacturing partners overseas, with Nester quality oversight throughout.
Rigorous standards and inspection on every program — whether a sock is made here or abroad, it's held to the same bar as our own brands.
Real-time inventory, on-time delivery, and flexible programs that scale from launch runs to national retail.
One responsive, transparent team from first sample to reorder — invested in your brand's success.
In Good Company
We make for the brands you already know.
Nester Hosiery produces socks for some of the most respected names in outdoor and lifestyle retail — including REI Co-op and L.L.Bean — along with many others we're proud to craft for behind the scenes. If your customers expect the best, you're in good company.
