Chaco ReChaco Crisis Response: Trading Sandals for Masks

In response to the pandemic crisis at hand, Chaco is retrofitting our ReChaco factory operations to aid in the production and prototyping of protective masks. Please pardon our delay as usual factory operations are temporarily paused to serve this need.

• Due to shortages being communicated in our communities, Chaco is temporarily pausing our ReChaco factory operations to focus on prototyping and producing masks and protective materials for health care providers, essential workforce, and front-line responders.
• Our ReChaco factory and Mobile Factory Bus are equipped with sewing machines, tools, and materials to usefully serve this need. Our trained staff is volunteering to serve in this capacity and we are committed to making whatever we can to aid in the response.
• We are following strict safety and sanitation protocols and using social distancing during production for our health and safety.
• We are partnering with our parent portfolio company, Wolverine Worldwide, our sibling brands, and local community organizations to source and vet materials, patterns, and prototypes. We are following the direction and approved specifications of the relevant authorities, and we intend to share what we learn over social media.
• We hope to inspire other individuals, brands, and companies to join the effort to do what you can. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a sewing machine and some creative thinking.
• If you'd like to support our brand and factory during this time, please consider placing an order through Chacos.com or a custom order for backlog through MyChacos.com. We'll get custom orders made and shipped the moment we resume normal operations.
