When the item you want is sold out

Short answer: Sold out items sometimes come back and sometimes do not. Look at a comparable style in the same category rather than waiting without knowing.

Seasonal items rarely return

A style from an earlier season is not always reordered. Basics come back more often than seasonal colours. See bamboo clothing for women.

Look at comparable styles

If one particular brief is sold out, there is often a similar style from another brand in the same category. See bamboo briefs.

Write to customer service

If you are unsure whether an item will return, ask. That is faster than waiting and hoping. See bamboo underwear for women.
