Our Products

Our garments are manufactured all over the world as certain factories and regions have different specialties. Currently we produce most of our products in Peru, China, and Turkey, and a few are made in the United States. Ethical manufacturing is important to us and when possible, our design and production teams visit our factories to be fully involved in the production process. Over the years, we have worked to develop close relationships with these factories to ensure our garments are made with a high degree of quality that we can guarantee.

Our team expertly crafts custom fabrics combined with specialized washing and dying techniques to create our garments. Please follow your garment’s specific care instructions (located on the inside tag or on the product’s page) to extend the longevity and performance of your items.

Our website is a strong reflection of our current inventory levels across all Saltwater locations. However, let us know at family@saltwaterli.com if the item you're interested in is out of stock and we'll do our best to track one down for you at one of our 4 retail locations

Each garment comes with instructions specific
to its fabric, construction, and dyes. Please refer to your item’s inner tag
for the most relevant information. 

General Care Instructions

  • Wash all pieces with cold water on delicate or hand wash cycles and allow to air dry 
  • To ensure the longevity of your garment, we do not recommend putting any items in a dryer for extended periods of time. Dryers run at very high temperatures and can compromise natural fabrics. If items shrink after being put in the dryer, they are ineligible for lifetime guarantee benefits.
  • Wash garments inside out to protect buttons and delicate
    fabrics.
  • Once the piece has been washed the dye smell will fade. 
  • Please lay all sweaters and sweats flat to dry to prevent
    stretching the material or causing threads to pull. 

Other tips: 

  • Run a “ghost” cycle in your washing machine after using bleach to ensure that the chemicals do not affect the next washing load.
  • For any pulls in material, do NOT cut the thread. A bobby pin can be used to pull the thread back through or please take the item to a tailor for further repair.
  • It is only natural for a bit of pilling to occur on soft sweater materials.
