Banana Republic like JCrew only carries their Tall sizes online.

That either means christmas time from J crew, or everything you bought from that store was counterfeit and the store itself may even be a fake!!

the red chambray concept is spilling over onto higher-quality makers: EG, MJK, even Drinkwater's are releasing their own this spring. I look forward to seeing how they all match up!

Sure they have no value now but years and years from people will be like, wow, do you know how rare those bags are, most people just used them as a trash bag or something.

It's been going on for awhile. I know earlier last year, RRL came out with one that created a lot of buzz too. TBH, I'm starting to get tired of the red chambray hype and am about to get off the bandwagon. I have a feeling it'll become as ubiquitous as the plain indigo chambray except a lot less subtle.

We'll just have to wait and see this season.

Tall sized items often get returned. I would check back often.

And when they are returned we don't put them out, we send them back to the catalogue as we don't sell them in stores (maybe a select few do).

They don't sell tall sized items at the B&M Banana Republics.
They only sell them online.

Once or twice I have seen a tall size sneak into the racks at a store, but yes usually only online.

They are usually returns from online purchases.

Banana Republic stores will usually put returned tall sizes on the salesfloor. J. Crew stores ship them back.

Yeah, but it would take a lot of time to hit a bunch of BR stores looking for an odd Tall size. I get the impression that BR doesn't make a lot of Talls when they do produce them and I am sure you won't find many store returns. EDIT: My hope with the Chambray is it sold out so fast that BR will produce more realizing it's a hit. Honestly they where up less then two weeks!

You know how some people feel repulsed by the thought of walking into a Wal Mart? That's how I feel about walking into a Banana Republic.
