Increased price in materials = supplier charging me more = customer paying more

I'm pretty sure you could have worked that out all on your own!

Increased price in materials the price increase in materials used is alot cheaper than you may think as you are replacing existing materials so you are only paying a balance payment. For example Pittards Palms, brands charge more saying due to cost but in real terms the cost difference between sheep/calf leather palms and Pittards should only be US$1.50 per glove.

supplier charging me more the suppliers labour charge has not changed just because you upgrade or downgrade on materials.

customer paying more You have already stated you want to be competitive so why not take a hit on a couple of bucks

Thanks for your advice but I think I will be fine.

Of course my supplier will charge me more if the price of materials increase, it has nothing to do with labour.

Frankly I've had enough of your negativity towards my venture. I am well aware of the potential gains and losses, and don't need lecturing on them.

If you put as much time and effort criticising other peoples work in your own business then maybe you would be a little more successful.

Sorry for trying to be of assistance.

To be fair mate, he does only seem to be trying to help. He does after all know what he's talking about (this time lol)

[tbarnfield99]

It's just the way you come across, especially over this format. It is hard to determine any internation or sarcasm in your voice as it's written. If you would like to help then please do so, if you are here to give me a lecture then I really don't need it.

Got to say I like the pads, I personally like the plain style of them. Would the pads be available in youth sizes in the same style?

Well done on getting your first batch of samples! I think this a very good start, with some decent quality stuff. I'm sure the end product will look great. It has taken a lot of effort already to get this far, many guys on this forum have probably thought about having their own pad and glove designs but very few have actually gone out there and done it. I have a lot of respect for people who have taken that step to realize their dream, irrespective of what others might say. I would like to wish you the best of luck in your venture and i'm sure all your efforts will pay off eventually!

Right second draft of samples, which are nearly there, need a little tinkering with, but I hope you think that they have improved from the first. Let me know what you think!

May have a few pairs to sell around September / October.

I like the look of the gloves, kind of like the blade runners we had over here 2 seasons ago which were very nice.

Samples look ok, but not a fan of sausage gloves but that's just me.

That's fair enough. Not looking to bring a split out straight away. Looking at just 1 item at a time, although there will be plans to bring an alternative out.
