Merrow Manufacturing

To the community of people (and companies) advocating for Made in USA production - especially our advocates in , and :

We all know that supporting Made in USA manufacturing is a brand-to-consumer effort—because let’s be honest, most big retailers aren’t backing regional manufacturing the way they should. If we want our community to keep supporting us when retailers won’t, we believe it’s time to pay it forward and build a better model for everyone.

Starting today, Whalerknits is launching an affiliate program that offers 15% commissions to help grow the movement. Anyone can register... ANYONE! SIGN UP AND SHARE A LINK... both businesses and individuals - you don't have to be an 'influencer'... but IF YOU ARE and you have a larger following or do this professionally, we also have a 20% commission program with free samples—just reach out to request access.

While this isn't breaking new ground, it is a pivot we're making fully: this year, all of our USA brands will be offering affiliate programs - open to anyone.
For those who believe in and promote American-made goods.

We see this as an essential step in improving the business model for everyone involved.

First up: Whalerknits, our 100-year-old USA-made knitwear brand, where we design, knit, and sew sweaters right here in Massachusetts—continuing a long tradition of American craftsmanship.

If you’re someone who actively promotes quality American-made goods, this is a great way to expand the conversation, strengthen the movement, and get rewarded in the process.

Curious to hear from you all—what have been the most effective ways you’ve found to promote Made in USA brands? Let’s talk! 🚀💪

A MERROW Machine will last 100 years in production. ORIGIN products will remain in-service until you ask them to quit. Both products will be repaired and supported by people in your backyard.

BOTH PRODUCTS create jobs in our communities. BOTH PRODUCTS are built by companies who invest in the American Economy and bet on our extraodinary potential.

FROM ORIGIN:

MADE IN AMERICA

The bar for claiming to be is set low. Under the , cheap materials and components can be sourced from other countries. But so long as the end product is assembled here, it’s technically Made in the USA.

To us, that’s a cheat. It’s a lie. It’s flat out - : an illusion of quality to drape a brand in patriotism it hasn’t truly earned - all to drive sales. It’s why we’ve taken a Better-than-Berry stance.

We exhaust all avenues to ensure our materials, fibers, and components are sourced in , exceeding Berry Amendment Standards. If a component is made on American soil, WE USE IT. If it can’t be sourced domestically, we invest in the equipment and skills to make it ourselves. And in the rare instance when a material is temporarily impossible to source or produce in our country, we make it known: to our industry as a call to arms that a gap in the supply chain needs to be filled; to our customers as a duty of transparency so they know their trust in us is well placed.

From the farms where we source materials to our sustainability practices in manufacturing, we are committed to doing all the right things for all the right reasons - and all 100% Made in America.

We're building more Merrow knit gear in - check out some of the new styles for Spring 2024 ::

One interesting thing about our knit products - we can't keep them in-stock, and that's just fine. We build as many as we think is reasonable, and they sell out quickly. Our knit programs create jobs throughout the Southcoast, and we're proud to partner with regional retail supporting Merrow products, but we don't overdo it. So come get 'em while they're here!
