I have enough riding equipment now, if we want to wait a few more weeks for the jackets to be ready. 1 vote to wait.
Got your PM and sent you some info, thanks. Were not looking to step on any toes. Personally i would rather not deal with apparel at all. It is a huge PITA and expense and no one ever seems overly happy with the cost and the designs are hugely subjective. We were really doing this just to support our customers. If Dave has it covered I'm cool with that although shipping to all the US customers might get costly. We are getting more Sinisalo gear in and working on the ProGrip stuff. Not wild over any of it. I have also found people jump saying they want them then when it comes time to buy about 30% do so. Not a knock on anyone just facts. It is a huge hassle and expenditure and we still feel like the prices are way high and we have to offer them higher than we want to. Initial cost, shipping, import duties, massive paper work, lack of communication in other languages... it's real fun stuff Joe, we have talked of doing this (having some manufactured) and it is a possibility. thanks all, we will get something worked out.
Hey Kelly I can appreciate time and effort that you have to put into this. It's quite easy to sit back and type to all, I want this I want that. Only to have people bail at the last minute and you're stuck with product. (White tee shirts come to mind) May I suggest a $100 retainer from anyone that wants the Husky ride apparel. That would help with initial cost and show good faith. Paypal works right? Just say the word.
I'm in for a pair of pants 36 and a jersey XL. Is jersey like Kearney's availible? http://www.gnccracing.com/images/stories/451_kearney-2-horizontal.jpg?rand=958724545
Honestly...it's too rich for my blood (especially the jersery, which I will quickly fall on and rip!), but I would be interested in what Joe could produce and come up with.
Recently Husky Sport has become a sponsor on Cafe Husky (Davep01) and is offering this product line directly from the UK. Kelly may also be making announcements and offering things in the future but for the time being I would go to this thread: http://www.cafehusky.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2380
We stopped working on it when we heard HuskySport was going to be providing it. Never heard what came of that. Prices ended up being very high.
When? is the question. The non-Husky Team / regular 2009 line of ProGrip gear still hasn't shown up on our shores yet and here it is mid-June. I need a blue Top Line jersey to go with the pants they gave me. edit: I take that back. The regular line showed up this week.
We've supplied a small amount, more casual clothing than riding kit. As Motosportz says the price of the factory kit is high (due to poor exchange rate £ to €) so we were never going to be swamped with orders. Dave
