    Usually clothing companies dont sell direct but sell through a network of wholesalers / retail outlets. Finding out this information is going to be the hard bit. As well as that you may have to buy a fair amount of stock upfront before they will even talk to you. Finding a bank that will give you the capital to fund this might be also difficult.

    These are brands. They try to control the channel. As much as possible, they try to sell through people they know. They don't just provide goods to anybody who walks in the door. As far as they are concerned, there may be plenty of distribution in Ireland already.

    What is your concept? What would be the difference between you and BT2?
