[ 04 — Process ]
Five steps. No surprises.
STEP / 01
Listen
A working session on product, customer, and constraints. We'll tell you honestly if we're the right maker.
STEP / 02
Develop
Patterns, first samples, fittings, tech packs — refined until the garment is right, not just done.
STEP / 03
Source
Fabric, trims, hardware, and finishes selected against your hand-feel, cost, and timeline targets.
STEP / 04
Produce
Cut, sewn, and inspected in Los Angeles, with quality checks at every stage of the line.
STEP / 05
Deliver
Packed, labeled, and shipped — retail-ready or warehouse-direct, on the date we promised.
[ 05 — Founder ]
Made by hand.
Led by Dan Pearson.
Dan Pearson has spent more than a decade in Downtown Los Angeles building Ostrich Braille — a luxury menswear label known for uncompromising denim, premium fabrics, and construction you can feel. OSTRICH BRAILLE® has held a federal trademark since 2018.
OB949 is that practice, opened to partners: the same hands, the same standards, applied to your product — a twenty-piece capsule or a national branded program.

[ 06 — Production Calendar ]
Book the floor.
Small, intentional sessions. Expand a row for location and prerequisites.
We map your product against our capabilities — construction, fabrics, target costs, timeline. Bring tech packs, references, or just the idea. To get the most out of this session, come prepared with your target budget, timeline, and any existing tech packs or reference garments.
LOCATION // Video call, or in person in Downtown LA.
PREREQ // None. This is step one.
Walk the production floor, pull from the fabric and trim library, inspect samples off the line, meet the people who will build your product.
LOCATION // OB949 Studio — Downtown Los Angeles.
PREREQ // An intro consultation first.
For active projects entering development. We lock scope — patterns, samples, sourcing plan — and set your first delivery date. You leave with a roadmap and a quote.
LOCATION // On-site, studio conference room.
PREREQ // Signed development agreement.
