Small runs are not scarcity theater. Every colorway teaches us something about the knit tension, and a 400 pair run means we can fix what we learn before the next batch. The Coal run sold us on a softer collar. The next one will have it. That is the deal we make with early buyers: you get it first, we get it right.
