Next Level Apparel Joins Oritain’s Global Membership Program

Next Level Apparel reinforces its commitment to ethical sourcing and supply chain transparency by joining Oritain’s Membership Program at Gold level.

Next Level Apparel has supported the global fashion sector for more than 20 years, building a reputation for craftsmanship, quality and responsible sourcing. Over the last few years, Next Level Apparel has worked with Oritain to support the integrity of its cotton textile products through independent, science-based verification, and in 2026 expanded this as one of Oritain’s earliest Gold Members.

Today, Next Level Apparel not only engineers superior fabrics and timeless style, but also demonstrates leadership in responsible business practices, from ethical sourcing and supply chain transparency to reducing environmental impact.

“Integrity has always been central to how we operate at Next Level Apparel, and working with Oritain allows us to support our sourcing standards with forensic origin verification, providing our customers with greater clarity and confidence in where our materials come from, from fiber through to finished product,” said Eric Simsolo, President of Next Level Apparel.

Oritain’s Membership Program connects members with a global community of responsible buyers and suppliers all committed to the highest standards of supply chain transparency. Oritain’s Gold Membership represents its most robust program, with access to faster test turnaround times, dedicated account management and supply chain insights, supporting ongoing, programmatic verification across complex global supply chains.

“By embedding independent, science-based origin verification into their supply chain, Next Level Apparel is strengthening confidence in both their products and the claims that support them, while contributing to greater transparency and trust across the apparel industry,” noted Gemma Lynch, Chief Customer Officer at Oritain.
