In this episode of 10x Your Team with Cam & Otis, Patrick Mate of Patriot Jean Co shares his entrepreneurial journey of rebuilding an American-made denim supply chain. Patrick discusses the challenges and triumphs of sourcing materials domestically in a post-COVID world, emphasizing the importance of persistence and relationship-building in the face of countless rejections. The conversation delves into the complexities of reconnecting fragmented supply chains, the value of American manufacturing, and the unexpected opportunities that arise from taking bold entrepreneurial risks. Whether you're an aspiring business owner or a seasoned leader, this episode offers valuable insights on resilience, innovation, and the power of community in building a successful enterprise.


More About Patrick:

In late 2022, Patrick founded Patriot Jean Co, a testament to his belief in American craftsmanship and quality. With a spark of curiosity, he ventured to the heart of North Carolina's historical denim industry, immersing himself in a Denim 101 class. Not only did he gain deep insights into the craft of jean making and forging deep contacts in the industry, but he also saw the potential to rejuvenate the proud legacy of American denim.

Harnessing his background in supply chain and program management, Patrick established an exclusive partnership in the Fashion District of L.A., focusing on the design and quality of the jeans. Going a step further, he orchestrated a supply chain team dedicated to sourcing every material from within the USA. From denim to zippers and even the labels and tags, Patrick ensured that Patriot Jean Co's commitment to American-made products remained unwavering, even if it meant restarting dormant factory lines and absorbing additional costs.

The statistics are startling. Every year, 450 million pairs of jeans are sold in the USA, but most are produced in countries like China, Turkey, Pakistan, and Vietnam. By 2017, all major denim jeans brands had offshored their production processes. Today, the average pair of jeans embarks on a 17,000-mile journey before finding a home with a US consumer. Patriot Jean Co is here to change that narrative.

By choosing us, you're not only investing in a superior pair of jeans but also contributing to bringing jobs back to the USA. Beyond jeans, our commitment to American-made products extends to everything we offer, including our range of trucker hats, t-shirts, and more.

Join us in celebrating and reviving the spirit of American craftsmanship. Patriot Jean Co - where quality meets pride.
