Since you seem to be quite familiar with the products, I'm interested to know -- can you estimate the difference between bulk and retail? Looks like ~$200 retail for the first jacket I clicked online.
Would be interesting to estimate what percentage of the total spend Uber were short-changing their female employees over.
- drunken-serval 10y agoI can't speak for jackets but I do help run a convention that bulk orders t-shirts. If you want one custom t-shirt, it's $20+/shirt. If you bulk order, it's $3/shirt for 300. We also get t-shirts for our staff, those are $9/shirt for 20-40.
- jcrawfordor 10y agoFor screenprinted shirts there is a very substantial setup portion of the cost though, the actual shirts are dirt cheap in any case but the setup for the print run can take a worker a couple of hours for multiple screens. The result is that for small runs the setup cost dominates. Leather jackets are just expensive to begin with, so I would expect the item cost to dominate even for small order sizes, resulting in a much shallower discount curve. And even if the jackets were customized they were probably embroidered or had embroidered patches applied - the machines used for this are computer-controlled and there is essentially no setup cost involved (besides some time to prepress the art).
