we would need more detail, about what "kind" of clothing. there are tons of posts here about all of the shows and their description. it is probably easier to do some research on this site.

Hey you still have a cafepress store we can check out. I've come across a site called oralewear.com in the past. Not sure if this is yours.

You might wanna go to your nearest Small Business Association and get a list of retailers in your area I suggest you going personally to their stores and go to your local hispanic neighborhood stores......

You may want to try tradeshows like Pool, Agenda, or Magic.
