Northwest Custom Apparel Celebrates 40 Years
This year marks Northwest Embroidery’s 40th year in business. Northwest Embroidery was founded by current owner James A. Mickelson in October 1977 in Tacoma, Washington. The small embroidery company started out with a couple of jacquard tape driven embroidery machines from the Baradan embroidery company. In 2015, Northwest Embroidery re-branded as Northwest Custom Apparel to represent that they are more than just an embroidery shop. Northwest Custom Apparel sells custom embroidered jackets, polo shirts and hoodies to local businesses around the South Puget Sound and Pierce County.
