The issue with this sort of thing is quantiles, demand and inventory. Most outfits would want minimum orders for different sizes and for orders to be paid for on speculation of sales.

Like I said, the LC guys have some very good options. One in particular is willing to produce products on demand by order and even set up a website that products can be order from directly by the individual. It sounded very promising.

Even a large organization such as the PGCA would be hard-pressed to keep an extensive inventory of colors, sizes, styles on hand. The promise of ordering one-off from a website is the best option in my estimation.

When I was at my most recent employment at a Volvo dealer the owner told me to stock up on and carry "VOLVO" logoed clothing - jackets, hats, golf shirts, T-shirts, etc., ad nauseum... all in different color schemes and sizes. I said "Absolutely Not will I ever do that - it is a huge waste of time and money!"
I talked some sense into him and he finally agreed with me.


Not to even mention returns for any and every reason a customer can think of....
