I'm looking at suits on brooksbrothers.com, specifically the Fitzgerald cut, and a lot of the fabric choices have been out of stock of most common sizes for a while. Is there some reason that they only replenish their stock every 6 months? It seems like, in this economy, if someone is willing to buy a suit, you ought to at least have a couple on hand in every size. Or at least offer the option to get it backordered - but they don't. The retail stores near me aren't any better - none of them even have a single fitzgerald in a 38R. I don't really know how the fashion industry works...do they just make a bunch of suits at the start of the season and then throw the patterns away? Is there some reason they can't make more every month or two?
