Ear warmers for hats

[RBH]

I just got this from Mike, he has been working on ear warmers for hats.
With this cold weather this will be sweet.
The warmers fit into the sweat and do not make the size change, and remove easy when you need to take it out.

photos removed till I speak with Mike

I think this could quickly become a best seller. -M

That looks like it would work great with a hardhat, too. I'll take one:eusa_clap

I made 1 dozen the other day and have sold all but three, had one on my western hat yesterday, 18 degrees and wind blowing very hard, ears stayed nice and warm and hat never blew off, when you have the ear flaps pulled under your chin it acts like a stampede string.

You better patent that!

 

[majormoore]

Sort of thinking about doing just that, don't really know how to go about doing it.

I am up in Canada and in winter we face -30 Celsius temps. That would be very welcome up here.

 

[majormoore]

Any ideas on how I should market this, already been talking to a plant that could turn out a 1000 a day very easy, just need to see if there is a market.

As a business consultant, I'm paid hideously huge to recommend what is sometimes so obvious. In that vein, my free advice to you on this product is that it will sell like hotcakes, but you must get the patent process in motion immediately and act fast to get it into production. Work even harder on channels of distribution--that's where the big boys squash little guys like you.

Remember, the big guns will basically copy your idea with small changes and try blow you away, so you must GET TO MARKET FIRST.

NOW is the time to think in terms of building out with brand extensions, say polar fleece ones, cashmere, in more colors, etc.

Key is a catchy name. "Snuggie" has now sold over a million units, but never would have done so well with a name like "backwards robe."

By the way, I'd like one. What are they made of?

Okay, didn't see it, but I want them. It's been so cold here lately (single digits and below) that I've not worn a fedora in ages because my ears get cold.

Can you do UK blue and white?

lol

I'll take one in green and gold if you're doing colors.

If you're not doing colors, I'll still take one. I was looking for something just yesterday, and I tried the 180s and they didn't work well with my hat (didn't fell quite right period actually.)

Where's the pics??? I may buy one too, but I need to see what they look like and what's the cost?

I was told I might should remove them till Mike knew he had all his bases covered.
Sorry .......

Seems like a good product, but I fear that a patent might be tough to get -- I suspect that a similar or identical invention exists from the heyday of hats, which could invalidate a patent. That is, you might still get a patent, but it could be challenged under the prior art doctrine. In any case, it was 22 here today, so I'd like a set!
