FITS (Fun in The Saddle), a leading manufacturer of technical equestrian apparel for the rider athlete, has moved production of its PerforMAX® breech back to the U.S. resulting in 4 out of every 5 of its styles proudly bearing the Made In USA label.

“With some 80% of our styles manufactured within a few miles of our studio and offices,” says FITS CEO, Sheryl Rudolph, “we can exercise an even higher degree of quality and inventory control as well as doing our part to support American job recovery.”

Rudolph is particularly satisfied that the company’s best known product, PerforMAX breech, originally produced in the US, will once again be closer to her watchful eye. “The PerforMAX breech is the most difficult of our line to cut and sew with the precision and flawless work our customers demand and have come to expect”, she noted. FITS expects to benefit by more flexibility in inventory scheduling as well.

The company’s innovative line of breeches, tops and outerwear has grown consistently year after year. Its Jumpline™ has expanded the company’s growth into the hunter/jumper market while it continues to hold a commanding lead for premium breeches in the dressage, eventing and endurance segments.

FITS equestrian apparel is available at nearly 160 fine retailers in the US and Canada. A list of retailers http://fitsriding.com/dealers.php and high level riders wearing FITS apparel can be found at http://www.fitsriding.com
