Ok, so we have the idea, particularly for Tac Pants and Jeans. Anyone here have suggestions who to contact, what to say, etc?
IIRC, Pinnacle knew someone from 5.11. I'll PM him. [EDIT: Spoke to Pinnacle. No usable connections in this regard. Thanks.]
I could talk to a manager from Streichers.
I think I'll also speak with Jamie Young at RogueElite.net about some Woolrich Elite gear.

FYI Midway's dealer pricing is almost not worth mentioning except to tell you not to bother. It runs $36 for 5.11 tactical pants and waist sizes bigger than 40" take 30 days. Woolrich elite run $36.75.
They are getting Blackhawk pants soon at $40.50.

I have a good friend who is a 5.11 dealer. I will contact him and check on 5.11 group rates...
Edit: I am also very familiar with 511tac.com or Midwest LEO supply in Oconomowoc, WI. I just had a dealing with them (from the 5.11 days) and they were very good to me.

Just got off the phone with my buddy, Matt Brown. He is the owner of Tactical Gear USA, ( http://www.tacticalgearusa.com) He can be reached at MBrown@tacticalgearusa.com
He is willing to do a group buy on 5.11, but would like to know the grand purchase idea before committing. He's a good guy, I've known him for at least 5 years... Haven't had any problems with him. Plus, I know where he lives
He's going to be getting an account here and can explain how he would like the whole thing would work.

Hello Gang,
EricMN is correct! My name is Matt Brown and I do run a web based business ( www.tacticalgearusa.com). I am a licensed business with the state of Minnesota and have been selling gear since 2001.
Recently, I became a full-line 5.11 tactical dealer. Everything is special order from my supplier and takes about a week for delivery. Everything will be drop shipped directly from my supplier to your door.
What I would like to do is this....
Have a large bulk order once (or twice) a month. This helps me keep orders straight as well as makes a discount better for the group. If you are intereted in any items please provide me with the following information:
ITEM SKU:
ITEM NAME:
ITEM COLOR:
ITEM SIZE:
ITEM PRICE (From 5.11 website):
I will then post a price for you. I also carry a 1,000 of other items. So if there are something that you are looking for, please let me know.
