DayStar began business in 1998. Scott Hall, founder of DayStar, had been in the manufacturing business since college as a co-op student working with Oxford Industries. His career quickly led him to work with VF as an engineer for Lee Jeans. Mr. Hall advanced through the company and eventually managed one of the largest sewing plants for Lee Jeans in the United States.

After having much success in the apparel world, Scott created his own company. DayStar began as a uniform company selling polo shirts and aprons direct to the public. By 1999, many uniform companies had found DayStar and requested for the company to convert to a supplier and sell through distributors only. DayStar concurred and in 1999 DayStar started selling exclusively through Uniform Distributors.

DayStar's facilities are currently located in Jasper, Georgia, located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. DayStar currently employs over 50 people and operates out of over 20,000 square feet. The company has consistently experienced double digit growth, continuing to show the need for high quality apparel in the United States.
