Oh it is going to be a more than 10x profit.

The materials themselves probably cost no more than a few tens of cents, so all the cost is going to be the in the manufacturing process. The knitting pattern does look somewhat advanced, so I guess it would require a relatively high spec knitting machine. I suspect what would drive up cost is a combination of throughput and somewhat that you need an expensive knitting machine. Since this is a high volume item that will probably bring down the average cost by quite a bit.

I would guess somewhere in the region of $2 to $5 per pocket to mass produce these? Anyone have a more qualified guess?
