One of our customers is a sports equipment salesman, and they are facing higher prices, too, on sports uniforms, etc. He said the reason cotton prices are rising is that the gov't is paying the farmers in cotton states not to grow cotton. Now cotton is grown in China and they don't know how to grow cotton. Hence, the higher prices.
