I don't know that emphasizing one's very own clothing line is a "step back" from reselling other people's. It's a huge step in a different direction.

Maybe it's not a step that all of us here are happy with, considering how much of our gear we've bought from TE over the years ... but maybe it's a sign of Susan's success that we can now buy pretty much all the same things locally, or near-locally, that just simply weren't available except by mail order when she started.
