Anatar

The most advanced materials in human spaceflight are soft goods: textiles and composites, meticulously sewn, bonded, and sealed by people who know failure isn’t an option.

My son Fredrik and I have embarked on a journey to Northeast USA to partner with a textile mill and visit some friends. This is how you build relationships and rebuild American textile manufacturing. Will have awesome updates this week!

@aceddeca1 this is @anatar

Glad we are on a timeline of hope again

One of my favorite startup stories: @anatar I've been following Kaia for a few years. She literally willed this concept out of thin air into existence. Love to see it break into success.

Last week the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) reported out its version of the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Several provisions were included that benefit U.S. national defense textile manufacturers. Key sections below: - Textile Industrial Base Study (Sec. 839) DoD must contract with a federally funded R&D center for a comprehensive assessment of the textile industrial base, covering industry coordination, contracting stability, domestic sourcing gaps, Berry Amendment compliance, supply chain resilience, automated manufacturing investments, and risks from single-source suppliers. An initial scoping briefing is due to Congress by May 1, 2027, with the final report due September 30, 2028. The bill also includes a $50 million allocation for a textile manufacturing program (funds must be specifically provided through appropriations. - Cross-Functional Team on the Textile Industrial Base (Sec. 841) DoD must stand up a cross-functional team by April 1, 2027 — with representatives from each service, DLA, and the Office of Industrial Base Policy — meeting quarterly to map the textile industrial base and identify resiliency needs. By January 1, 2028, the team must launch a competitive pilot program to revitalize domestic textile supply chains, supporting surge capacity, modernization, qualification of alternate suppliers, and expanded competition. Three congressional briefings are required: within 60 days of stand-up, within 90 days of completing supply chain mapping, and annually thereafter. - Boot Certification (Sec. 835) DoD must issue regulations within two years of enactment requiring that optional combat boots sold at military exchanges be certified through each service's combat boot quality assurance program, ensuring consistent durability and quality standards. A 90-day waiver is available while certification programs are being implemented. - Combat Boot Subsidy Pilot (Sec. 840) The Army must launch a pilot program by June 1, 2027, subsidizing 30% of the cost of compliant combat boots for soldiers receiving a uniform allowance, capped at one pair per eligible member and purchased through AAFES. The program runs at three selected installations through December 31, 2029. Congress will receive an implementation briefing by March 1, 2027, and annual updates thereafter on usage and program data.

Sure, reindustrializing America and manufacturing fabrics for defense and space is crucial and epic, but topping it off with a killer long-sleeve shirt available to anyone? Just next level @anatar!

American manufacturing. Grown here. Sewn here. Get your limited-edition long-sleeve while they last at store.anatar.com.

By working directly with American farmers, Anatar is returning the economic value of American cotton to American hands. We support the @USDA’s Great American Cotton Plan to strengthen America’s cotton supply chain and revive rural communities.

@kaiarhodes Incredible.

Humble beginnings. Come see us at booth 43 at FEDTEX to learn how Anatar is automating textile manufacturing for the U.S. military and NATO-allied forces.

These Texas guys are so mad. Don’t sleep on #3.

We’re building the infrastructure for humanity’s next chapter with our celestial neighbor. With customers spanning multiple branches of the military and commercial space industry, Anatar is positioned to meet significant demand in 2027.

@KPRunion @RetVet99 All over it.

Yesterday, a small business in Brooklyn was awarded a $21 million max-value IDIQ yesterday for physical fitness shirts for the Air Force & Space Force. Today, that same business was selected for another max-value $763 million IDIQ to provide physical fitness gear to the military services over the next 5 yrs. They're having a good week. Also, apparel manufacturing.

NASA has identified soft goods, advanced composites, non-flammable materials, and dust-tolerant soft-sided logistics systems as critical technology gaps for the Moon Base program. The need for advanced textiles goes beyond clothing. It extends to habitats, covering everything from wall panels to storage bags. Nonwovens, felts, webbings, zippers, sewing threads, coatings, finishes, foams, and elastics. A complete soft good is accurately described as an engineered system, often termed "technical soft goods," which blends material science, industrial design, and manufacturing strategy to create durable, high-performance items. Far from simple sewn textiles, these products are designed to perform specific, often demanding functions under pressure.
