About Us | American Wear

70 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

American Wear was founded in 1951 by Nick Auriemma and has been family-owned and operated ever since. Nick’s caring personality and forthright values endeared all of his customers; he was a living customer loyalty program. With Nick’s son John Auriemma, at the helm supported by his cousin Dean DeFilippo and John Auriemma Jr., those same values have lived on through three generations. Our dedication to providing outstanding personal service, ethical business practices and fair pricing is our way of treating you like family.

SERVICE WITH PASSION

Our team is built on experience, family values and the desire to be the best in our business. Many of our employees span multiple generations and most have many years of dedicated service experience. We maintain our traditional values while we continue to develop innovative programs, like StarTrac Garment Control™ or our Star-Image System™, to better meet your needs. American Wear is solving the problem of missing garments, once and for all.

We use our resources and knowledge of the garment industry to collect and deliver new and gently used coats to people in need. With our facility located in an urban enterprise zone in East Orange, NJ, we’re committed to promoting our local economy and revitalizing our urban communities. That’s why we support Outpost in the Burbs.
