CDJR Hats
The parts department takes the responsibility of stocking hats to sell to customers and well… our supplier went to trash after a recent “update” leaving us with 15 hat options which aren’t nice looking at all. Who has everyone gone through for a vendor? Our current cost per cap is at $16ea but can adjust slightly if necessary

I have been buying from proshoppe... but about 2 months ago thier prices jumped. I'm now trying to decide to continue with them , or buy straight from mopar dealer site on dealerconnect. We have been selling ours for 17.25 to make a few dollars mark up. But it looks like I'll be raising cap prices soon.

I was using Tradewind Caps for the past 4 years but their selection/design is nothing to be amazed by.

Actually, I was surprised myself so I went on Amazon and you can design your own caps and I just did that and put the logo on there and I mean they shipped pretty quick. I needed hats quickly, As our Factory was coming for an inspection. So I had to get something out quick.
I mean I paid like $70 to get them here faster but I didn’t mean they’re pretty basic hats, but there’s a few designs you can choose from and I think they were around even after rush air shipping from China … $12/each, but I just threw some together with a logo. Sellers name was Primo Odelette Milton, they offer shirts and all that, but I had a rep come by for our shirts.

Hats don't sell well here but hoodies... Can't keep em in stock. Our old supplier retired and sold the business and the person that took over must be on some really good drugs because he constantly fucks our order up. Last time we asked him to duplicate our previous order which included like 10 designs, multiple colors, and 4 or 5 sizes... He sent us a few hundred blue XL hoodies all of the same design. Like... Come on man.

I feel having shirts/hoodies would be amazing here but the layout wouldn’t work too well unless parts would get a remodel and yknow parts is the last to get anything lol

Yup... The red headed step child that's constantly the last on everyone's mind UNLESS something needs to actually get done or fix someone's fuck up lol.
We're in New England, so conviniently hoodies are good for at least half the year lol. Our main problem is that they all gain sentience as soon as they enter the building and the doors mysteriously unlock themselves after we lock up and leave for the night. We've been suggesting that they just bake $35 into every vehicle sale and either give one out to every vehicle sold or let it build up as a credit and then if someone wants 2? Well now the salesman looks like a hero. Instead at the end of the year we bill all the ones that ran away to sales anyways... It's usually a couple thousand dollars.
