It can be a lot of different things but it's often a balance of commercial performance, specificity of idea and what we believe in. The Khadi work suit for example, was highly specific to the inspiration to that drop and my colleague John Yang's baby. While I was dubious about it's potential, I was pleasantly surprised by it's performance. That said, it wasn’t such a smash hit that we would rethink our initial instinct to keep it a single season idea. On the flip side, there are things that have moved more slowly that we will give another go at because we think once people get their hands on them they'll realize what they've been missing (Dungri west chino fit comes to mind as it is amazing but only doing ok at the moment).
Sorry but that’s what it costs us to ship it there.
It should also be noted that garments made from our fabrics would cost 3-4x what they do in basically any other brand. Those two woven polos from drop four for example, would cost easily $700 if they had a bode or dries label on them.
I think he meant that the suit was his colleague's figurative baby - it was his project that he really wanted to see to fruition.
