Zeke Chapman, the owner of Chapman Trading Company, announces the launch of Magnolia Loom, a T-shirt brand that uses local cotton.

Founded in 2015 in Sandersville, Chapman Trading Co. provides custom T-shirts, hats and other apparel through its website, ChapmanTradingCo.com. Magnolia Loom is a line of quality cotton pocket T-shirts that are certified Georgia Grown. From seed to shirt, Magnolia Loom pocket T’s come from cotton that is grown and processed in Georgia. The fabric is cut and sewn in Swainsboro. From there, Magnolia Loom shirts are sold exclusively through Chapman Trading Co. and can be customized to fit any customer’s needs.

“Since I was very young, I have understood the importance of the agriculture industry in Georgia,” Chapman said. “I knew I wanted this new venture to support local cotton farmers, processors and sewers, and that’s exactly what we are doing with Magnolia Loom.”
