Now, let's do a bit of arithmetic. It costs 130 + 260 + 1000 = 1390 gil to make a Cotton Robe. Selling them at 2000 a pop means a profit of 2000 - 1390 = 610 gil.
Later in the game, this is very easy to take advantage of, since you can easily access these shops. However, early in the game, it requires a bit of forward planning.
The first thing you need to do is get a 100% approval rating for the duel during I Want To Be Your Canary. This will result in a reward of 10,000 gil, and a moonstone from Brahne (not relevant, but still nice to have). In Dali, pick up 99 Wrists. The game will let you purchase more than 99 Wrists if you have one or two equipped, but the equipped wrists will magically disappear when you unequip them, as they won't fit into your inventory. Don't let the magical gremlins steal your Wrists - take equipped items into account when buying the maximum amount.
Now, when you reach Lindblum, buy as many Steepled Hats as you can, while leaving at least 1000 gil in your inventory. Make a Cotton Robe. Sell the Cotton Robe. Rinse and repeat until you're nearly out of Wrists.
Leave at least one Wrist in your inventory, if you're not done learning abilities from it (or if you're as anal as I am, and refuse to sell the last one of anything). Keep two Cotton Robes, buy any equipment you desire, then buy 99 Steepled Hats. You should still have around 18000 gil to spare on equipment in Gizamaluke's Grotto.
Now, when you take control of Dagger and Steiner in Treno, take a field trip to Dali. Buy more Wrists. Make more Cotton Robes in Treno.
Go crazy at the Auction House.
Fun!
