Hmmmmm I believe there is a difference between industrial products sold to engineers and style products sold for fashion. When a product is pitched to a manufacturer it has to pass a multi-level justification. Engineer to senior engineer. Then, on to production staff where an accord has to be reached.

Net profit is their game and to challenge established profit margin upsets their apple cart. "Prove it to me Mr. Engineer, sit down and tell me how glass matting that will cost us 500% as much as our already proven existing mat is going to make us more money".
