Cue-maker Apparel.....(Scarcity)

I wonder why there is such limited availability of any customized apparel, such as shirts, hats, caps, jackets, etc. for big name cue-makers.
Is it more a matter of exclusivity versus all-out merchandising or do top name cue-makers or case makers even care about this type of thing?

A few years ago, fourkingcues was able to persuade some big names in cue-making, like Searing & Hercek & some others, to okay releasing
some customized T-shirts. More recently, Jazznpool offered some baseball caps from Prewitt cues and I got a few. I don"t know about you folks
but I dig that kinda stuff and wish more of it was available. I bought a beautiful black satin embroidered Schon cue jacket on the Forum a couple
of years ago and the funny part is I quit playing with my Runde Schon cue over a decade ago.

Anyway, I figured it was worth tossing this question out there to see if any others had any curiosity or interest in this same topic.

Honestly, for us it's simply a lot of expense and hard to keep the right amount of inventory in stock.

I am trying to have a really cool company do some work for us to come up with some designs that people would want to wear just as cool clothing on it's own.
 
Absolutely no money in it they end up losing money. For example you have a cue made and you go pick it up the cue maker is almost obligated to give you a T-shirt or hat which interns mean they lose money

A T-shirt with logo averages like $10. Its cheap targeted advertising and people would really appreciate it. With the cost a lot of these cues cost I'm sure $10 bucks is not gonna be the cause if they lose money not to mention the money should just be written off into their advertising budget anyway.
