I make that 37...must be enough for a decent price, provided theres enough wool blankets!
Am enquiring now. Christmas and New Year has provided a lull in proceedings

Okay. Prototype made (minus detailing such as lacing closure at neck/head opening at moment - this will be added or zip). The prototype is basic shirt (hood and longer back) plus kangaroo pocket.
Will be looking at it on Saturday and take some photos......
Could you please add me to the list. And Happy New year to you all.
please can i be added to the list
Got to factor in the quality of materials - these blankets are nearly 20-quid a chuck and are nearly like thick wool felt in quality. Add in tailoring costs and the profit margin for the business it is being commissioned off (which includes the seamstress) then we are probably looking at around half the cost of a Swanni Bush-shirt.......

As a sanity check......
...snip ...the actual cost to produce this should be in the region of £20 > £25......if not less.

Assuming you used an entire blanket per shirt that will be £17.95 'retail' per blanket for the good blanket.....and assuming you could not get at least one shirt from the cheaper blanket as the stripes (on the cheaper blanket) would be cut away from the shirt template in any case!
Am all for business making a profit....a question!
If the material is already being priced retail (Nearly £20), I assume the 'profit margin' for the blanket is already built into the equation as you are quoting a full retail price not a wholesale price ....obviously it would not be charged twice...
I may have I misread...? Just checking..
Base 'cost' of the material and a full hour of a seamstress' time (Which should be plenty for a professional seamstress' plus other consumables for the manufacturing process.....the actual cost to produce this should be in the region of £20 > £25......if not less.
Then it is a question of how much profit you want to make....!
Given the real things are being sold for around £100, that should leave you with 100% profit if you retail at £50.....
Not bad
Hope this helps.
