Sale on Eotac apparel
We are running down the last of the Eotac apparel and most of our employees were acting like vultures grabbing their sizes before it was all sold off. We only have a few of the odd sizes in the vest, shirts and jackets and most of the lightweight stuff is almost gone. I think there is going to be a huge glut of tactical pants on the market because I noticed that with a bad economy and so many tactical clothing companies trying to get their foot in the door, I’m seeing $20-$30 8.11 and Blackhawk tactical pants all over the place. Men and women are still going over to Iraq and Afghanistan so there is still a strong demand.
Now granted, there are some really bad designs and I recently tried out a few new styles of clothing, but after testing them all out, I ended up back with Woolrich Elite tactical pants. It’ll be some what easier to sell clothing now that Eotac is gone because there won’t be so many people asking about the differences between the lightweight tactical pants and the regular clothing. I am still waiting to find out what the situation is going to be with making clothing in China and cotton prices because we just got hit with a few more price increases and I doubt this will be the last of 2011.
