I know that the industry, there was a lot more manufacturing going on here.

So all the contractors that we use now, they were around back then, and they're still here.

I mean, a lot of them probably closed, but the ones that are still here are making...

making do by having a smaller staff, a smaller factory, but there's still enough of an infrastructure here that we can still do it.

There's not just one dye house or one cutter or one sewer.

There's a big enough group that multiple lines can still produce, and there's still competition for price.

Right.

Yeah, I mean, if someone was starting a clothing line, I would say start it here.

We knew people who had, you know, the story has always started here.

And then when I wanted to cut costs, I went overseas.

Right, right, right, right.

For us, it didn't work that way.

And I think for other people, I guess it's sort of like how you design it.

Sometimes I think it's like how many bells and whistles do you want to put into a garment?

Because each thing you add in is an added price.

So if you keep it simple, you can keep the pricing lower here.
