At a time when most large scale US manufacturers outsourced production to South America or the Far East Earl Beard put his belief in “American Made” founding Earl’s Apparel in 1972. He created a company that would specialise in the production of military grade cotton sateen garments and Natural drill Pants and painter coveralls

That Company and the trademark goods can now be found in over 2500 stores worldwide from the USA, Europe and Japan. Stan Ray, Gung Ho and the Earls apparel group are still privately run by the Beard family. Stanley Ray, Earl's youngest son and inspiration for the brand name “Stan Ray” can be found overseeing cutting operations at their manufacturing facility in Crockett, Texas USA

The company principles remain the same as the day Earl founded Stan Ray; to provide with good service, high quality, durable, comfortable and affordable garments all made in the USA

Stan Ray the professionals choice since 1972
