Please note: these are grounding estimates, not quotes. The ranges are benchmark figures for small-batch domestic production, drawn from real LA-area project pricing — actual factory quotes can come in meaningfully higher or lower depending on fabric, construction, finish spec, and the factory itself. Use this to pressure-test your plan and budget, then get real quotes from 2–3 factories before committing. Size curve is a standard retail distribution — adjust for your audience. Wholesale check assumes wholesale ≈ 50% of retail.
