Vantage Tariff Pricing Update — Effective June 1, 2025

In early April, we let you know that upcoming price adjustments, due to the recently imposed U.S. import tariffs, will take effect on June 1, 2025. These changes impact many in our industry, and we want to ensure you have full visibility into how Vantage is responding — and leading — through this turbulent time.

For over 45 years, Vantage Apparel has built a reputation as a trusted leader in branded merchandise by investing in innovation, operational excellence, and long-term global partnerships. Our diversified supply chain includes a network of trusted factories across multiple countries outside of China—many of which we've developed over the past decade precisely to mitigate risks like this.

Our Response to Tariffs:

Proactive Diversification: Years before these tariffs were imposed, we made strategic moves to reduce dependency on any one country. Today, a significant portion of our products are sourced outside of China, allowing us to better absorb and manage cost pressures.

Collaborative Cost Mitigation: We've worked hand-in-hand with our global manufacturing partners to offset as much of the tariff impact as possible, so the increases passed on to you are minimal and measured.

Customer-Centric Pricing: We’ve approached this adjustment with care, prioritizing fairness and transparency. Should the tariff landscape change, we are committed to making adjustments to reflect any changes.

New Pricing Effective June 1, 2025:

  • Decoration pricing: +3%
  • Vantage, Vansport, The Varsity Collection, Greg Norman, Gildan and POLO Ralph Lauren: +5%
  • Select Vantage Outerwear, Berne, and Xtreme Visibility: +10%
  • Redwood Classics: No increase
  • Please note: Vantage will honor all existing price quotes for 30 days through May 31, 2025, so you have ample time to plan and secure current pricing.

Even though our decoration prices haven’t increased since January 2023, this 3% adjustment reflects rising costs in thread, ink, embroidery backing, and essential packing and shipping materials used in our decoration services.

We understand that pricing changes require planning on your part, and we’re here to support you. Our sales and customer care teams are ready to answer any questions, provide updated pricing sheets, and assist with future orders. New pricing is available for download at www.vantageapparel.com/pricelists or through your sales rep.

For decades, Vantage has been your trusted partner, known for exceptional quality and craftsmanship. We recognize these are challenging times and want you to know we're here to support you — every step of the way.
