The tights business is fickle

Downside:	Our supplier no longer carries hunter green, our most popular color.
Upside:	We can order it through them from the mill.
Downside:	We have to order in "dye lots", anywhere from 150 - 200 yards.
Upside:	We won't have to order that color for another twenty-five years.
Downside:	It's this way with a lot of our popular colors
Upside:	No upside to that one.
Downside:	That's a lot of fabric to have to store.
Upside:	I get to build shelves.

Hunter green is one of those colors that we just can't seem to keep in. All the darker colors are that way, navy; wine; chocolate brown. The one I really miss (but am not willing to pay $1400 to get) is olive drab green. Not a lot of call for it, but the folks that wanted it REALLY wanted it.
