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.
