[QUOTE="ladyofdragons, post: 336250, member: 5718"] heh. I'm just starting my own company that makes ren garb ([URL=http://www.wolvesdentrading.com]Wolves Den Trading Company[/URL], not much up there yet except some goofy ladies bloomers, I have 3 men's shirts to make this week). I did the 'free garb' thing a few years back, and I will NEVER do it again. my time is much too valuable to do this for free. Also, you get what you pay for. Most people I know who make ren garb for themselves are beginners who make horrible fabric choices (although I do know several who are fantastic seamstresses). I charge about $60 for a man's linen shirt. it costs me about $30 for the materials, and takes about 4 hours from start to finish, which means I'm making a paltry $7.50/hour, which is less than some burger slingers in my area make. Think about it when you're buying ren garb, that it's not made by some little lady in taiwan who makes $5 a week and the company gets all the profit, it's made by someone who has the same cost of living that you do.
