I've been in the apparel business 25 years. I've Repped brands such as Helly Hansen, Simms and Stearns. The mark up is all big box retail related. I see garments that I know cost them $25 marked at $100 or more. Its incredible compared to the Industrial Safety lines I rep where distributors are happy to get 30% on most items. The price[point has been set and will not change.

Because waste is far less, inventory is less volatile, cost to house and market it is less.

Retail is a costly bitch just to survive
