What is the deal with gi companies and the month of march?

I notice a lot of companies are all releasing stuff in march and find it odd. Is there a reason for this?

I don't know the real reason, but it is smart to have a full stock of stuff and release new things in Feb/March. This is when people get their tax return back, and might have a little extra cash for gear!!

Could be that Pan Ams are in march and they want stuff available for one of the biggest comps of the year.

or since all gis are pretty much made in 2-3 factories, a bunch of brands are getting their gis at the same time roflmao.

A lot of companies begin their fiscal year in feb, after a year end clearance event, it makes sense to release new and exciting products in march, because it is the beginning of the year essentially.

That and Spring is coming up. That means better transportation of goods (during Winter season it's a pain when shipping stuff). Which means better upkeep for stock. Which means satisfied customers

Ah I see. This all makes sense. I was not sure if it had something to do with where they are made of whatever other reason

Taxes, march normally means 3 paychecks that month for those on bi-weekly pay, pan ams, and basically beginning of the fiscal year. All good reasons.
