The answer

There is no objection to manufacturing and selling things that are permissible in themselves, even if they have unlawful uses, unless it is known or highly probable that the buyer will use them for unlawful purposes. Accordingly, it is permissible to work as an accountant in a company that sells such clothing, unless it becomes clear that most buyers use them for unlawful purposes, in which case it is not permissible to work with them. When in doubt, the default ruling is permissibility.
