Article in Seattle Times (paywall) about this seems they cannot find experienced sewers in the Seattle anymore. Sad

If the job paid well enough there would be sewers...yes, sad.

Tactical Tailor in Lakewood seems to be able to retain a staff of sewers and keep people on the payroll.
Last time I made an inquiry about the company I was told the owner had just purchased a new Ferrari.
Maybe "OR" should consider paying their help a decent wage.

I’ve had a pair of their Versa-liner gloves for years. Pair of fleece liners, and Pertex covers that can be worn separately or together. 4 ounces. Perfect warmth or rain gloves for 3 season hiking.

That sounds great but in 2010 they were subcontracting to a "suburban sweatshop."

Posts of recent immigrants to LA with sewing skills willing to work for low pay, Seattle recent immigrants with sewing skills are SOs of coders, not willing to work cheap.

Rainy Pass Repair did a great job putting a new zipper into an Arc'teryx jacket of mine. After about a decade the one it came with failed.
