at what level are you talking here? you have to be more specific and atleast have questions or knowlaedge, simply saying i would like to start a thread makes no sense.

Same here. I have an idea for a hat that I think will be a success, but not sure where to begin, either, and could use some guidance. I've done some initial research and haven't found anything comparable (as far as possible patent infringement). I've nailed down my target audience, too. I still need to come up with a prototype, but not sure what to do next. There seems to be a hoard of companies that target engineering concepts, but I haven't found anything WRT clothing apparel concepts. Please PM me if you can help!

Edit: BTW, I would even consider selling the idea to a bona-fide manufacturer, but not even sure what I need to do in that arena as well (i.e., who to approach, how to approach them, how to protect my interests).
