    How many shirts?

    in Match Finances

    Posted

    Like I said, I can get Cutter & Buck shirts for the matches thru an old customer, he can sell them to the tournament for about $23.50 with about 5000 stitches of embroidery. This shirt retails for $48.00. NOW, the way to do it, to promote the shooting sports and the tournament, is to sell the shirts for the exposure, not to make a profit. Offer GOOD shirts, no dates, so they can be sold next year if they don't all go this year. Nice small logo left chest, and people will wear them again and again.

    The problem with promotional shirts, is that the organizers try to buy crap, sell it to make a profit. People do know the difference in the quality of the garments, and don't want to wear crappy fabrics.

    Up to you though.

    I'll second that Bobert!

    And don't give me this BS about XXXL costing $5 more than XXL and lower. That is crap and the shirt company knows it. A guy that runs a shirt printing business locally told me that if he is buying shirts in bulk for a special order all the sizes cost essentially the same price. The only time that the bigger sizes cost more is when they already have the shirts they need to do the order on hand and have to special order the larger sizes which is a small order so costs more per shirt.

    But it is routine for the shirt company to mark up the cost of the XXXL (and sometimes the XXL too) shirts to increase the profit margin.

    Having worked in the Corporate shirt business for 5 years, I CAN tell you that some companies DO charge extra for XXL and XXXL's. Many, if not most now do have XXL's in their normal pricing, but I do not know of any that XXXl is normal pricing.

    That said, being a newbie to the shooting world, I am going up to the Florida Open just to watch my first BIG Match, and would hope to be able to buy a shirt.

    On another note, I CAN tell you that higher quality shirts, although more expensive to the contestants, ALWAYS out sell the cheaper, i.e. Outter Banks type shirts. I currently have NO interest in any shirt companies, but Cutter & Buck has great shirts that are cut VERY large, and last a long time.

    People that shoot these matches have thousands of $ of equipment, they will spring for a $25 shirt that is of high quality.

    Anyone interested, IM me and I will put you in touch with the guy that will sell then to you are the BEST price!!!!

    Well, if it makes ya feel any better, I joined USPSA this week. Gonna shoot my first match with my new STI Edge .40 from Derek Janowicz on Feb 6th.

    I am looking forward to it, gonna be a blast. I went and watched a match on Jan 2nd, to see how thing are done and get a feel for what I needed to get started.

    I think I may be hooked. My dillon 650 is waiting for the powder to show up so I can start loading.

    Brian tried to talk me into one ;) , but I already knew I wanted one!

    Brian, thanks for ALL of your HELP getting me up and running!

    In case any of yohaahve not ordered from Brian, he is AWESOME. I had a major SNAFU, and Brian seriously took care of me, even though it was my mistake.

    I am a customer for life, hope you guys support our host too!

    Thanks again Brian!!!!!

    RN or SWC?

    OK, I have my Dillon 650 on the way! I am going to shoot/load 230 jacketed bullets, as I don't want the extra cleaning and my girlfriend is going to shoot too, so I don't want her to have to deal with the smoke factor.

    What are the advantages of SWC as opposed to RN? Assuming the gun will feed both equally well

    I am going to use:

    W231

    Winchester brass

    CCI primers

    I hope that this thread is not redundant. I did a search, but did not find the answers I was looking for.

    Thanks in advance
