I don't think you're crazy.

Tim mentioned getting some samples to see quality. Not sure what happened with that. Been quite a while...

Patterns would not be kosher... the Simplicity stuff is getting taken off shelves and torn out of the catalogs. No word on the reason, but it's unlicensed none the less and not good.

Materials... maybe.

I think a much more viable and related thing would be leather products. Like belts and holsters. Those are hard to find and expensive when you do find them.
