'Silk' scarf bulk order

[Ricky_ 893]

Could be an idea, tbh if the majority want that style then I'm happy to proceed on that basis. Unsure of minimum order quantities of this type, same with costing. Inquiries could be made.

that's maybe a bit too 'skateboarder', but i kind of tink if you're making silk scarf then it should probably be significantly different from normal scarfs.

True, but there is also substantial demand for a traditional/retro looking scarf.

I've contacted a few other companies (one is UK based) to query sample costs. I've gone on the proviso of a traditional looking scarf, not to dissimilar to this:

My first step will be to sort out a minimum sample of 10.

Looks nice, bit pricey but it's genuine silk.

No probs mate. I've been after a 'silk' scarf for a while and assumed that there would be others in the same boat.

I had something like this in mind, pattern wise. From a copyright stand point we couldn't really get in any trouble.

That's the Royal Navy pattern - so is copyrighted.

FFS ,So for 150 scarfs it'll be £692.50

Or for ordering 300 scarfs it'll be £ 885

Thats pretty good tbh , could easily sell them for at least double what they cost , and give the profit to a chosen charity

You'll need to add 20% VAT onto those prices.

Have also created a thread in the graphics and gaming forum to try and get a few designs down.

Edit: 150 scarves at cost will be £5.54 each, similarly 300 at cost will be £3.54 each, excl postage.

defo count me in.. silk scarves are the bollox! need to be a great design though..

[KingKai 439]

This is the silk scarf that got me thinking about creating our own. IIRC this original was sold for £150 on ebay not so long ago.

Something seems a bit 'off' on this one. maybe its a later version, but the red stripe looks way too thick. also that 'band' where the tassles are.

But if you got these made i'd love to buy one!

the ones with the lion and white fringe

Count me in if thats the template.

What about something like this. My dad's old scarf from the 70's. Still wear it myself now and again.

[TMB 14,167]

What about half the scarf being white with the blue star at the end. The other half being blue with the Rangers crest at the end. It's simple but often that's the best way to go.

Also, a traditional size and style scarf is the best. I don't like the look of those neckerchefs at all.

Like the sound of your idea. Only issue will be the reproduction of copyrighted material (namely the Rangers crest).

We can use the lion similar to this one, without any infringement:

Additionally, the suppliers offer double side printing, so perhaps we could have a 'home - blue' and 'away - white' side ?

That is the one i was thinking about,always wanted one of those.You can tell with some of these auld guys that it means a lot to them.Out of interest approx. when were these scarfs in circulation.Looks around early 70's to me?

I got mine around 1970 from a menswear shop in Govan.

If I remember correctly it cost 14/6d - thats 72.5 pence to you young 'uns. Would probably be priceless now, if only I still had it.

White with blue star at each end, and blue with the red Lion at each end on the reverse sounds good. You can't really go wrong with that.

You should get some mock-ups on the go. Let people see what's on offer.

I'd agree with you there, sounds like a good idea.

Trying to get something put down but my photoshop skills are pretty naff.

Got one of them, similar anyway, up at my old man's house. Think he bought it in 61
