This subject has come up before, and I see no one has answered you, but 
Carhartt will not sell wholesale unlesds you have a storfront or the only one 
in the territory or any number of things that they require, the best answer is 
to find a replacement that's similiar, or have the customer purchase at retail 
and you make money on emb. only with no out of pocket costs. or try to find 
someone who sells and work out a deal to order through them, although I think 
you will be dissapointed since I don't beleive they operate like the normal 
wharehouse style vendor that we are used to in this industry, these retailers 
place there order up to 6 months in advance  aqnd recieve it later, which is 
why there often is the "what we've got is all we have" mentality.

It doesn't make the customer happy but we all have to learn that we can't be 
everything to everybody, and that not everything can be easily attained at 
wholesale prices. and if they want it they should just buy it bring it in and 
have it embroidered. that way it is up to the customer to hunt down all the 
right sizes and colors. one or two times of this and I usually have people 
willing to listen to alternatives at that point! and don't forget to charge 
more for embroidering on provided goods since you don't make any mark up on the 
blanks.

Good Luck,

Ron
