I don't have a lot to add to the conversation about things to do, Mike, but to weave two threads together, I'll reiterate a comment from a couple years ago (that you and someone else already mentioned), which is to shoot more short videos of the people who make your products and the stuff getting made. I think it's important for your brand that you use mostly USA factories because you like to be able to easily visit the people who are making stuff for you. The videos would emphasize all of those points. You're in LA, surely you can find someone willing to shoot and edit the video at a reasonable rate!
I also think it would be good to photograph more of the unusual MTO stuff that passes through your hands before you ship it out. And not just on a hanger. Even laid flat in a fit that you create would be a fun lookbook-ish way to illustrate what people can actually do with your MTO programs.
And as long as you're thinking about another sashiko model, I'll make a pitch for straight-leg version with a drawstring waist. Source some cool cord for the draw string. I'm thinking like a 19" leg opening on a 33/34 waist.
