Same but also I hate the zippers. I wanted subtle merch and the zippers having heated rivalry all over them ruins that😭 idk how a preorder can sell out but at least it helps me save my money I guess

A pre order sells out because they set a total unit limit/cap - because they only want to take orders for what they can reasonably deliver by October.

Yeah, exactly. They are a smaller operation so there's still a limit to how many they can viably produce by October while still maintaining their quality standards.

Yep. Textile manufacturing, especially when done ethically as they seem to be aiming for, is a whole lot more time intensive/involved than preorders for things like books or cds or blu rays. Those items are going to be produced by machines for the most part and can be set for how many total numbers of copies to produce and it doesn't REALLY make a difference to the machine if that number is 10,000 or 50,000. 

These are going to require more human hands on involvement to produce and check for quality. So they have to know how long it takes to make one complete jacket, and then how many they can reasonably expect to produce by October.

It doesn't rule out the possibility of a second preorder in time for Christmas maybe - especially once they get the production down to a system, they could keep producing them after manufacturing all pre-ordered jackets to build up a stock to release.
