WHat with all these companies charching so much for their shit, i mean, 21 bucks for a silver t-shirt. Like 50 for a hoodie? This is ridicules. HOw hard would it be to start my own companiy. Any one wanna buy some nice, ski t-shirts for oh 12 bucks. Just seein if anyone is interested, beofre i spend alot of money and no one wants shirts. I'm not even doing this for profit, i just want some cool affordable ski shirts to wear. oh well whatever.

its a good idea, but starting costs, th materials and whatnot will be quit a lot. I, too, dont understand why there is so much mark up in ski gear/appearal

The best way to get ski gear is to get it off parents. Parents are the only people who will really pay for anything in your life, so use em! Thats how i got the new 1080's w s912's for only 200$

Oh shit, there it goes....

All these skier kids want to see nowadays is big air. You want to see some big air? Pull my finger...

'you're an adult now' fuck that shit!!! im taking 22 credits in college. i don't have time for a job and i still have to pay for everything. i would love some cheap shirts.

I pleaded with my mom and she dropped 700 bux on me for last years skis/bindings/coat, all 50% off.
And good luck starting off a business, although that would be really sweet because theres like no good ski clothing companies that sell their hoodies for under $60. I've been loking for a hoodie with a sweet ski logo on it but havent had much luck for under $65 bux

well it wouldn't be that hard to start a business. just make a crappy little tripod site, which is free, get a paypal account (so that you don't have to have a secure website), find a shirt printing place by your house and make some phatty logos. once you get your product out there and know a little bit more then you can worry about going bigger.

EXACTLY, thats what i was just gonna say, a free site with paypal or some other secure payment system. A kid at my school started his own aggressive inline accessries company. He started small like that, and now hes rollin in the $$$ and ready to move up to making his own rollerblade parts instead of just shirts and softgoods stuff

you could just make a sick logo like a dude on a rail or somethin and just make it all black and then silk screen it on to a t-shirt, or print it or whatever

u stupid shit, it is 20 bucks for a SIVER t-shirt and 50 for a SIVER hoodie, not silver, and also, if u did start ur own company, 30 bucks for a tee would be the only way for u to get off the ground, unless u r a sick ass company with an awesome team full of pros, u won;t have any success unless u put in the time

Being Irish, I guess I should resent the Notre Dame nickname 'The Fighting Irish.' After all, how long do you think nicknames like 'The Bargaining Jews' or 'The Murdering Italians' would last? Only the Ironic Irish could be so naively honset. I get the feeling that Notre Dame came real close to naming itself 'The Fuckin Drunken, Thick-Skulled, Brawling, Short-Dicked Irish'

This is why when I need shirts I go to target and get like 20 plain white shirts for around $25. I could care less what they look like...

yeah, but i think you're forgetting about the exchange rate... so a lot of stuff in canada is cheaper than in the states - i think your range on hoodies actually ends up being like 45-55 or something like that in u.s. dollars

thanks for all the ideas, i found a shirt making company around me that makes sweatshirts, that they'll even personalize, each one, like a name on the back for like 32 bucks, so with shipping thats like still only about 36 dollers. The only thing is u have to get em in like bulk of 50 or more, so i gatta make sure people will but the shit before i lose alot of money. whatever i'll let you all know

Here's the real deal. Retail shops need to mark their product up 100% in order to pay for their rent, staff etc. Manufacturers need these retail shops to survive. Retail shops won't sell the manufacturers' products if the manufacturer is going to offer the same products online for less, so naturally the manufacturers have to sell for retail online. Hence, no matter where you shop, you're going to run into markup. That, my friend, is business. You won't find a successful business that doesn't make any money. You need it to grow.

BOIOIOIOIOIOING!!!

starting a company can be a real good idea. My dads friend starte sobe and sold it to pepsi and made around 30 million. Just plan it out before you start and put a lot into it and I'm sure it would work out.
