Market Research:

1) Do you own horse racing inspired attire? If so, what type? (e.g. specific horse, track, race?)

2) Would you purchase such attire? If no, why not? If yes, what appeals to you and what doesn't?

3) If male, would your wife/significant other be interested in attire appealing to women?

Your input is much appreciated.

Cheers.

Cheeky Bird : I read your post and thought something very different from many of the posts.

I was NOT thinking about racetrack swag material, but dress that fits for high end racing (Saratoga, Keeneland) that you might think "Hamptons".

Men's wear would include pastel sport coats and matching slacks, summer shirts, shoes, and such. For women, I was thinking summer dresses made for the average woman, not the size 2-6 crowd that you will see in boutiques across Saratoga's Broadway. Yes, this would be incredibly interesting if you found the right price range and fabrics. Absolutely something you would want to test market with a small collection to gather opinions.
