Wow! I thought I was good at thread-drift. There is competition and that improves the breed. Thank you for keeping me on my toes.

The high-end clothes if they can't or shouldn't be burned, could be shredded. They aren't produced in quantities like Zara. They aren't quirks that were done up in advance for the team that wound up losing the Super Bowl. So it's manageable. But if you send the clothes offshore for deconstruction and re-use, you know some of it's going to get diverted. Those people who run the places are thieves. Albeit no match for Wall Street or the sports books advertised on TV. Maybe the clothes could be burned to provide heat for refugees in a war-torn region. Do good even while advancing global warming.

Visiting Cape Cod many years ago I found a Boston College NCAA 2000 hockey championship hat.  I couldn't bring myself to buy it but bought a Troy State hat which I wore around town (with a good one-liner to go with it).

One of the Coach bag outs apparently concerned agreeing not to destroy returned items.  But returned and unsold could be different animals and whether leather or "vegan leather" who's watching the cattle?
