Brain Trust question?

[rmboies]

This isn't POG related but this brain trust is too valuable not to ask:D

Does anyone know of a small clothing manufacturer in the U.S.? Low volume to begin with, fabric and patterns supplied.

Thanks for any insight and/or contacts.

I'm a personal friend and acquaintance of Tommy Hilfiger. He's just plain hell to get a hold of. I used to get to him thru his mom but she passed this past spring.

I guess I'm just name dropping, ya think?

Lew, everytime you see me and I have a Tommy shirt or jeans on you "thank me" LOL Wonder who he used as his first set of garment seamstresses? He goes overseas now but I doubt he always has....if you get ahold of him please let me know....that would be very cool but I doubt he wants to help a bunch of fledging college kids trying to do a start-up business....you never know though!

will do, thanks Jim. Acutally, the kids already have their designs, idea, etc. and are looking for a small group to manufacture/sew them. I actually found that for them today, should they decide to have them made in the textile belt in the good old US of A!

Appreciate the input....
