As someone already said, its about natural supply and demand. John Tried like
I said, a year ago to expand output, but he couldnt get the trained help he needed
to keep up the standards that drove into the business in the first place,
and we would have received lesser jackets for the same price. That would have driven
John nuts, so he raised prices. Its the only tool outside of what he tried to control
demand. I was talking to him the other nite at Midnite PST and he signed off by
saying "Off to Sew some more!!!" So you know he is sewing like 7 days 365 days a year.
So either he raises prices to ease demand or
put out a lower quality jacket and thats not in his DNA. You can get a lesser A2
faster, and you can get a Corvette instead of a 911, they accomplish the same
goal but do it in different ways and with different levels of quality. The Corvette is
$50K less.
