Red Shirt

Is there a fashion cabal? When will I be able to buy a red shirt?
There definitely is an international color council - some trade organization that helps decide / predict what the hip colors will be, so suppliers can plan to have the right color mix available. Some clumsy googling turned up nothing.

IT'S A CONTROLLED SITUATION.
JUST AS THE WAR AGAINST MEN RAGES ON.
FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS, CLOTHIERS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DELUGE THE HANGERED RACKS WITH GAUDY "HAWAIIAN-STYLE" SHIRTS, WHICH FEW WOULD BOTHER PURCHASING.
FOR SUCH PRECEIVED INSOLANCE, THE PROVIDERS OF FASHION HAVE PUNISHED THE MALES OF THE POPULANCE BY REDUCING THE AVAILABLE STOCK OF DECENT CLOTHING, THEREBY FORCING THE MENFOLK TO PURCHASE THE AFORMENTIONED HAWAIIAN SHIRTS.
BUT STILL, WE KNOW BETTER.
(Fire, try Van Heusen for the crimson stuff.)

Move to Calgary. It's all anyone wore this spring on the Flames' run to the cup.

Well, as far as my girlfriend and I are concerned, the cabal should all be shot for this summer's women's fashions:
1. "high-waisted" shirts* that makes everyone look pregnant
2. short short pleated skirts that no one but a 90-lb model can wear without their ass showing
*I'm a straight non-metrosexual male and do not know the correct terminology, apologies

what lbergstr said. The international colour council decides on the coming year's colours. Last two years it's been pink, I haven't read this year's. But obviously red's not on it.
Spooky, huh?

Pantone is part, if not all, of the international color council.
