Once more you are using the scarcity of product as a selling point. ‘Get your run of 200 before they run out!” is the subtext. This seems to run counter to your ideas that blogging destroys old marketing strategies — yet here you are using one of those ‘old ideas’.
I just think you would be better off concentrating on the excellent quality of the shirts (because they are very high quality).
Meh, but what do I know?
(Last time I mentioned this with respect to English Cut, the answer you gave me made it seem that I’m not good enough to be sold to… I’m guessing that this isn’t what you meant).

Good idea, Hugh — this will keep the designs turning over more quickly. I got two of the first ones, but didn’t really want the next ones — the idea that I only have to wait a week before another choice is available will probably have me buying more often.

I showed one of your quotes in my SXSW slides ("...infinte") and a little later I meet a guy wearing the shirt with that quote. I'm glad you've got a new one up... but we want MORE!! And please, please, please consider making a few in attractive, *small* (and more, um, form-fitting) girl-style shirts. I have your smallest size and it's still way too big for me. (Not that I'd wear it, though -- the first one's just for display ; )
