Pacific Sports

What Pacific Sports does

Pacific Sports (legally Peace Textile, Inc.) is a U.S.-headquartered wholesale blank apparel manufacturer and distributor founded in 1992 in Sumter, South Carolina. The company produces knitted, dyed, and finished cotton and cotton-blended garments, fabric, and t-shirts using proprietary dyeing and finishing technology applied to tubular fabric for color, hand, and shrinkage control. Its catalog spans men's, youth, juvy, toddler, junior, and performance lines in 100% cotton, cotton/poly blends, triblend, poly linen, poly rayon, and 100% polyester fabrics, with specialty collections (Elevated, Infinite, Galaxy, Omni) and a non-medical cloth face mask line introduced in 2020.

The company sells exclusively B2B through a self-serve e-commerce platform at ePacificSports.com that requires prospective buyers to register as certified resellers, with California customers obligated to submit a resale certificate. Volume-tiered per-unit pricing ranges from $2.47 for entry-level polyester styles to $4.90 for premium 3XL sizing, and face masks are sold only in full 180-unit cases at $225-$234. Orders ship nationwide via FedEx and UPS, with LTL freight quoted separately for orders of $5,000 or more and free local pickup available at the West Coast distribution facility in Eastvale, California.

Pacific Sports generates revenue through one-time wholesale transactions rather than subscriptions or licensing, with payments processed via major credit cards and PayPal. The primary customer segments are screen printing companies, embroidery shops, promotional product distributors, and clothing brands that decorate and resell the blanks; Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) certification on core SKUs addresses sustainability procurement requirements from these downstream buyers. Ownership is private with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and the firm employs 51-100 people across its two facilities.
