          As per another conversation happening elsewhere on the forum at the moment, we have released a load (far too much actually) of great stuff recently.  We have not had a feeding frenzy like we used to in the old days for at least 18 months.  That's great for you guys because there is less uncertainty about whether you will get a given item or not.  And in a way, it is also good for us because we do end up selling more.  BUT, the downside is that our stock levels have rise dramatically, not only does that tie up working capital, any increase in stock level is taxed at the marginal rate…...That hurts us.

          So Haraki and I are trying to find a better balance e that is good for us all....

            Sounds wise. Many of your customers face the same problem: rising stock levels (full closets) and tax on stock level (enviousness of wife).

              I agree. I would not mind regular stuff coming in instead of a flood of too much (great) stuff that you can't afford all at the time. This fall was crazy, most items showed up within a few weeks while winter hasn't even begun. It would be great if there were still Releases in january (Christmas Money!) and february. We're not talking about fashion seasons here anyway. (I don't Need summer collections in march.)

              It was nice getting some UHFs in spring & summer this year, wouldn't mind if that continued.

                  My Point was just to even out the Releases, instead of two tidal waves in fall & spring. Makes it easier for us to get the Money aside and you don't end up with too large stock. But that's just the outside perspective, I know you do your best to satisfy all demands.

                    We try to even out releases, but we make stuff in lots of different work shops and sometimes we just get a perfect storm of completions.

                    I try and release additional stuff between the main collections to even things out a bit….

                      The past 2 collections at least….. I mean, there has been so much. S/S16 killed me... So much I liked, and I kept saying "I'll just get this one, and this one, and this one", and the more I bought, the more it fueled my shopping addiction. There is so much in the store right now that I want, but I'm really forcing myself to not buy anything. And NOW, I'm looking at S/S17 like "I need it ALL!". First world problems at it's finest for the customers, lol

                                            I think that maybe a typo? The 1700 referred to there is surely the IHT-1700 (printed version of the IHT-1610) that indeed arrived on the 15.2 the day after this post. The IHTL-1700 is coming on Monday I think.

                                            But hell yes it's exciting.
