When they posted it as a new arrival, they updated the same template from last year, which had the end-of-season clearance price still marked. Looks like a 24 hour error they've since fixed and which I'm kicking myself for waiting on.
There is some good news though: According to customer service, there is a very limited number of wool blazers from last year's signature line available in "dark brown heather" for $99.00. They do not appear on the web site and they're out of catalogs that contain it; nevertheless the woman in customer service described it to me: It's much lighter than this year's brown blazer, and has subtle dark brown stripes over a lighter brown/gray base.

Noticed that myself and I assumed that to be the case. Had planned on buying the gray one before the day was over just in case, but completely forgot. That said, I do have the brown striped one from last season and I can say that it's pretty fantastic. I'll try to remember to take a photo of it tonight. For now, see the stock photo that I happened to have saved...
