For example, it takes a year for a new recruit (even if she/he has prior sewing experience) to move from the practice room to the production floor....

@Karol Not defending, but making sure that everyone is on the same page regarding items being produced.
Ramping up production is not feasible as the factories are already at maximum output which includes machinery and personnel.
If IH shifted priorities to restocking back items, you may fail to capture new customers looking for the newest items or losing old clients who already have said items.
There is not a perfect solution and running a business on this scale, has to take all of those factors into account.

Giles, and what do You think, is there interest in younger members of the sociality in Japan to go into crafts?

Not like a few years ago, hence the growing issue.....
@goosehd and this is the worry I was mentioning to You earlier. We are witnessing a change in the Japanese sociality that has repercussions on this quality aspect from above statement.
I don't remember where it was but @Giles or @Alex mentioned that in one of the factories the owners created really good conditions for foreign workers so that they can focus on the training and later the work. But I still think that there is a risk that even with those extraordinary precautions it's going to be unsustainable. People might want to go back to their home countries, try something else with their lives. etc. While the qualities that IH has in the business have been developed by people solely focused on their thing, perfecting it for years and years.
What Im trying to say here is that the world keeps spinning faster and faster, and that is not good for the things and quality that we love. -

I’ve been hoping for more of these. Is eBay the only place to find them nowadays?
I was only able to find a few on eBay and that was the first time I had seen any.

And today I learned, this was a thing! I would have loved 1-3 of these in the black herringbone.
