About Us

Built for founders who want clarity — not guesswork.

Smart Apparel Consulting exists to solve the most expensive problems apparel founders face after the idea stage.

Too many brands fail or stall not because of creativity, but because of poor execution: unclear production paths, bad vendor decisions, wasted money on samples that go nowhere, and launches built on guesswork instead of systems.

This business was built to change that.

Smart Apparel Consulting operates as an execution-first apparel partner — helping founders make smart decisions early, connect with vetted production resources, and build workflows that actually support growth.

We don't sell hype, templates, or theory. We focus on what works in the real world of apparel production.

What Makes Us Different

Operator Mindset

We think like builders, not coaches. Every recommendation is grounded in manufacturability, cost control, and scalability.

Real Production Experience

Our guidance is informed by hands-on experience navigating tech packs, sampling, sourcing, factories, and launches — not recycled advice.

Vetted Network

Founders don't need more options — they need better ones. We connect brands with reliable vendors and partners that fit their stage and product type.

Systems Over Shortcuts

Strong brands are built on repeatable systems, not one-off wins. We help you build the foundation correctly from the start.

The Person Behind the Strategy

Meet the Founder

Tyler B, Founder of Smart Apparel Consulting

Tyler B

Founder

I've spent years in the trenches of apparel production — sourcing vendors, managing cut & sew, building inventory systems, and fixing the messes that happen when brands skip the boring stuff.

Based in LA with a network of vetted manufacturers, printers, and blank suppliers I've worked with hands-on. I know who delivers and who doesn't.

I started Smart Apparel Consulting because I kept seeing the same problems: brands burning cash on bad samples, guessing on inventory, getting burned by vendors they found on Google. There's no reason for that.

I help brands and businesses run apparel like an operation — not a creative project that spirals out of control. Whether you're launching uniforms for your crew or scaling a Shopify brand, I'll give you the systems, vendors, and planning to do it right.

"No fluff. No vibes. Just ops."
