Vanson factory video

This is pretty interesting, example of how a higher volume manufacturer works- just start adding up the overhead costs in your mind as they show the machinery...

Mark:

That's a very interesting video. I'm going to stop taking for granted just how much effort goes into making the jackets that we love! Even with the automated cutters, it is still amazing how much labor has to go into it. I can see how labor-intensive it must be for people like you, John Chapman, or Diamond Dave who don't have fancy high volume production machinery.

I was impressed with their operation, I can't imagine the amount of effort it must take to keep the place running- did you see the special cutting dies for the gloves? Where would you even get one made? Not to mention the order forms, bar codes, water cutter... wow. Would really like to visit the factory sometime and go on a tour...
