Default Aviation Apparel

Good Afternoon,

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this in, feel free to move as wish.

My buddy and I who are both pilots, decided to build an aviation apparel clothing line. We figured as just about every industry has some type of clothing line, Skateboarding has several lines, surfing as severals lines etc... We figured there is a void in aviation without one.

So as of now the website is almost finished, we have the basic Tees developed, and currently have a Military Aviation Tribute tee being designed as we speak. Also, we have teamed up with Airlobes, who produces headset skins for aviation headsets.

Just wanted to get some thoughts and ideas potentially, and please only productive comments nothing negative.

I have attached the site below (We have not purchased the URL yet). until we have products and designs produced.

Thank you https://myerszw1.wixsite.com/falconflightapparel

Dont waste your time or money. Its a much too small, niche market.

THAT^^^^

You'd need incredibly high margins to make it worth your while if you appeal to no one but aircrew.

Honestly, I can see why you would start it. The aviation community is an extremely passionate community and I'm willing to bet some people would like to show that passion off with their clothes. I wish I could see the website though, it keeps sending an error everytime I click on it. Try it out but maybe think about DTG printing as this allows you to print shirts on demand rather than screen printing which requires you to place a bulk order to get the unit price down. With DTG printing it's also easier to manage inventory as you won't just have a ****load of shirts lying around the house that may or may not sell. Look into that and let us know how it goes!
