YES!

I just got my own block so I am going to need a place to get sweats from. Rather get it from you than someone I don't care about.

I'll check to see if I can get a decent price and find out what shipping is going to cost.

That would be great. My block should be here this coming week but I don't think I can get started on a hat till next month anyway. I'd love to get one of your vegi-tanned sheepskin sweats. Thats the comfiest sweatband I've used. I've heard roan is a good way to go too.

I could do it but I come across a little problem. I still need to order a good amount. I'm not sinking a good amount of $$$ to sell a few non label sweatbands and have a whole heck of a lot sitting here.

I totally understand what you mean. With the spice business....everything has a minimum quantity...usually around 1000.

I would be interested if you do...but if you don't....I totally understand
