Part of the reason is, clothing is much easier to import to the U.S. (and anywhere else) than firearms are. And no doubt there’s a significant markup on clothing.. I’m guessing they buy from manufacturers in China, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, etc, for peanuts, and turn around and tack on $200 or whatever they think they can get away with... I remember reading an article a few years ago about this, one of the Beretta family members was wanting to ditch the firearms side of the family business, and just sell clothing, as he was figuring it was more profitable..
