Antibacterial and odor-neutralizing clothing by Origin USA and Polygiene

Invested in rebuilding US manufacturing, reinvigorating local communities, and producing outstanding American-made apparel, ORIGIN™ USA has partnered with Polygiene™ to introduce antimicrobial odor-control technology into several key products. Designing and making everything from “tough-as-hell” trail shorts to jiu-jitsu gis and boots, the brand delivers high-quality clothing built for long-lasting performance.

BUILDING A BRAND WITH A VISION

Headquartered in Farmington, Maine, where the brand has constructed modern facilities around its restored historic loom, ORIGIN USA clothing believes local manufacturing can empower US communities and revitalize long-lost industries.

Founded in 2011, the brand now employs over 400 people and is renowned for its best-in-class products and no-nonsense, practice-what-you-preach approach to business. It produces a remarkably diverse range of products – its hard-wearing denim jeans are just as beloved by customers as its boat shoes and belts. It’s this combination of clear vision and commitment to excellence that makes the brand an ideal Polygiene partner.

POLYGIENE X ORIGIN USA

The Polygiene x ORIGIN partnership sees the brand integrating our innovative Polygiene StayFresh™ and Polygiene OdorCrunch™ solutions into several product lines to provide long-lasting odor control. Engineered to prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria and tackle environmental odors, our Freshness technologies are ideally suited to the outdoor-oriented designs developed by ORIGIN USA clothing. Its customers value the ability to wear ORIGIN USA apparel for extended periods, in tough conditions, without worrying about unpleasant odors.

As a brand, ORIGIN USA aims to produce hard-wearing, dependable clothing that users who work hard and play hard can always rely on. Polygiene helps deliver on this promise by improving textile performance to meet the demands of modern life and guaranteeing user comfort.

THE BENEFITS OF POLYGIENE TECHNOLOGY

While Polygiene StayFresh prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria, Polygiene OdorCrunch breaks up and releases molecules responsible for bad smells. As these technologies tackle the issue of odors from two different angles, ORIGIN USA doubles down and treats some products with both to further enhance protection.

By tackling problematic odors at the source, Polygiene technologies ensure users don’t have to wash their clothing as frequently. In turn, this:

Reduces the product’s overall environmental impact by minimizing the amount of energy and water required to maintain it.
Saves users time typically spent doing laundry.
Extends the product’s lifespan, as washing machines cause significant wear and tear, leading to premature degradation.

At the same time, Polygiene technology has a positive effect on the way users feel when wearing ORIGIN clothing, enhancing comfort and contributing to greater self-confidence.
