USA-Based Military Textile
Manufacturer Solutions

In the field, gear is either reliable or a risk. Midwest Textile designs and manufactures custom tactical soft goods that set the standard for durability in the harshest military conditions. Our lineup includes Berry-compliant capable tactical backpacks, MOLLE pouches, IFAK pouches, tactical vests, belts, and fire suppression bags, which are all built to perform under pressure.

In addition, we are a ballistic nylon sewing contractor. Ballistic nylon is one of the toughest, most abrasion-resistant materials used in the military. It resists tearing, punctures, and wear—qualities that are essential for gear that carries heavy loads, protects lifesaving tools, and withstands combat conditions.
