CONVERTER

Overview
A Converter is a person or company that buys gray goods; arranges for the dyeing and finishing of the fabric (i.e. the bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing, printing, etc) and sells the fabric to cutters, wholesalers, retailers, etc. Converters may also arrange to have the entire process performed down to the finished product. Gray goods refer to knitted or woven fabric in an unfinished and un-dyed state.


Career Opportunities
Some of the career opportunities offered by converters involve the areas of: Fabric technology, fabric manufacturing, marketing/sales, business planning & development, and various support services.

 

 


ZYIA - Item 889 - Black Peak Zipper Jogger
Inspired by classic athletic warm-up pants, these joggers offer the super-smooth feel and performance of our four-way stretch legging fabric, but in the casual cut of a jogger. The elastic cuffs are also equipped with stylish vertical zippers to make it easy to take off without removing your shoes.

ZYIA - Item - 3524 - Men's Navy Clubhouse Trainer Pant 36
Though we gave them the precisely tailored look of dress slacks, these pants are anything but stiff and scratchy. We built them from a highly-breathable, quick-drying technical fabric that has the look of a wool weave and the feel of silk. With a hidden, soft elastic waistband that wicks sweat and the pants adapt to your movements.
