Elite Cut & Sew began as 53 Merch, a custom apparel decoration house serving record labels, sports organizations and streetwear brands across New York. That decoration work — screen printing, embroidery and direct-to-garment digital printing — is still at the core of what we do. Under the Elite Cut & Sew name, we've expanded that foundation into full cut-and-sew manufacturing at our own factory in Sialkot, Pakistan, so the same partners who trusted us with decoration can now trust us with production, start to finish.
The craft this company was built on, still offered on every order — from a single sample to a full production run.
Bold, durable prints for bulk orders, team merchandise and retail runs.
Precision stitched logos and lettering for a premium, long-lasting finish.
Full-color, photo-realistic prints for detailed artwork and short runs.
Priority production lanes for trade partners and time-sensitive projects.
The floor, the machines and the techniques — pattern design through stitching, printing and finishing.
