Starting to Keep track

Alright, we are back from ACEN. I saw tons of great costumes, some not so great. Many were bought, as I discovered speaking to the cosplayers. So, for those of you interested. I am CONSIDERING starting to sell Gi and Hakama combinations. Here is the thing. They are fast, cheap and easy to make IF I use broadcloth and there is no decoration added. These are for costume purposes only. Ok well maybe you could wear them around the house. They are by no means meant for martial arts practice.

Now, if I get enough interest I might add a silk line. BUT and it is a big one. Silk costs. Even by the bolt and raw silk is not cheap. So I need to know I can get enough orders to cover the cost of the silk.
