Subject: Re: How the mighty can fall
Avery Truffleman has an outstanding podcast called Articles of Interest. Each season she focuses on a different aspect of apparel. This year it is on the influence that the military has had on what we wear. Companies have made fortunes selling clothing to the military and selling similar items to the general populace and gone bust over time. They have sold surplus until there was no more surplus to sell. Whole market segments, think outdoor gear, have sprung up as an outgrowth of supplying soldiers with gear. You can find the episodes at this link and the podcast on your favorite podcast player.
