How does Shuford Mills/Outdura differentiate themselves from the competition? Shuford Mills has made the Outdura brand different by creating its own personality in the outdoor world through color, construction, and design work. Not only does the Outdura brand have its own proprietary fiber colors, we've taken our fiber and developed innovative novelty yarns and specialty warps that allow the Outdura product to have a unique look when compared to competing fabrics. Under the direction of "D2"-(D2, LLC) design partners Karen Williams and Brenda Sewell-Bost, Shuford Mills is building on the design team's 25 years of experience in pattern work, color and merchandising. By coupling Outdura's "tool box" with D2's talent, we've created an image in the industry that is well placed and well received by our core customers and their retailers.
