In an industry where product catalogs can stretch for pages and “more” often seems to be the goal, Liberty Uniform has carved out a reputation for doing things differently. Based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the privately held, family-owned company has built its name on a principle that might sound counterintuitive in today’s crowded marketplace: less is more.
Rather than attempting to be everything to everyone, Liberty Uniform focuses on doing a few things exceptionally well. The company employs what it calls a “narrow and deep” inventory philosophy—offering a tightly curated selection of garments with exceptional depth in sizing, availability, and consistency. This allows Liberty to deliver top-tier products with industry-leading efficiency.
“We don’t try to be the biggest catalog in the room—we try to be the most dependable,” says Michael Fazzone, Vice President of Sales. “Our goal is to make sure every item we produce is one we’re proud to stand behind.”
That focused approach is backed by serious expertise. Liberty Uniform was founded in 1987 by Paul Fazzone Sr., Paul Fazzone Jr., and Steve Robinson. The trio brought decades of industry knowledge to the table, and from the outset, their mission was clear: high-quality manufacturing, competitive pricing, and excellent service. It’s a formula that has resonated for nearly 40 years.
Today, Liberty is still family-owned, with Paul Fazzone Jr. serving as President, Michael heading up sales, and Kirk Broome—who joined in 2023 following Steve Robinson’s retirement—leading operations. That continuity of leadership has helped Liberty stay true to its founding values while pushing forward with new ideas.
“Our foundation was built on relationships and reliability,” says Paul Fazzone Jr. “That hasn’t changed. But we’re always looking at how to make our products and service even stronger.”
Liberty Uniform primarily serves the public safety sector, supplying retail stores across the U.S. with uniforms for police, EMS, fire, and security personnel. The company is known for its high-performance shirts, trousers, and outerwear—garments that are built to endure long shifts, tough conditions, and high expectations.
Thanks to a streamlined operation and advanced computer engineering, Liberty maintains a huge ready-to-ship inventory, with hundreds of thousands of garments in stock at any given time. Over 97% of orders ship complete the same day they’re received, and even garments requiring alterations like hemming or patch application typically go out the door within 24 hours.
“Our customers don’t have time to wait,” says Michael. “They need gear that performs and ships fast. That’s our commitment, every single day.”
Quality is the thread that runs through everything Liberty does. Every fabric is laboratory-tested, and each garment undergoes thorough inspection before it reaches the customer. From button stitching to seam strength, every detail is engineered with performance in mind.
“Everything we do starts with quality,” Paul Jr. says. “We’re not cutting corners. We’re here to make uniforms that hold up to real-world use.”
That mindset has fueled the success of Liberty’s recent product innovations. The #636 Tactical Ripstop Trouser and the #736 Tactical Knit Polo are two examples of garments that combine performance, comfort, and durability—all without sacrificing affordability.
“These were designed to meet real needs,” says Michael. “We’re always talking with our customers and listening to what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next.”
What’s next for Liberty includes the expansion of their tactical polo line with new Royal/Black and Hi-Vis Yellow/Black Bike Polos—engineered for visibility, comfort, and durability. These upcoming releases aim to offer premium features at one of the most competitive price points in the market.
“Departments want better gear, but they also need to stay on budget,” says Paul Jr. “We get that. That’s why our mission is to deliver both—quality and value—without compromise.”
Despite its growth and evolving product line, Liberty Uniform remains deeply committed to the basics: strong relationships, reliable service, and products that live up to their promise.
“We’re not chasing trends,” Michael adds. “We’re building trust. That’s what keeps people coming back.”
