Great question, louisvilledanahys.
We took this as an opportunity to update our FAQ with official answers on this topic:

https://www.tombihn.com/pages/contact-us/#faq53
Hope this helps you and other folks, too.
And if you haven't seen it, we've just updated our blog and one of the new features is a News Brief section. This will be a reliable source of information and news (like adding some new FAQs) going forward. Here's the bit about the FAQs: https://blog.tombihn.com/new-faqs-debuts

Am planning to go with the S19. Wanted to do a Halcyon fabric, but one without an Iberian interior. So it limits my options. Also want to pair with a daylight briefcase, but it looks like those are now out of stock. Very tough to time purchases with TB i guess.
; )
I didn't notice this nearly as much when I bought my S25 three years ago. I guess I was lucky then.
Tried a few style of the briefcases but most were too small. Fingers crossed.
The next planned product debut should be sometime in November I think, though no date has been given yet. If you stick around on the forums for the next few weeks the date should be posted on here. Debut is the term TB typically uses if you're scanning forum post titles.
We do not yet know what sort of bags will be debuting but there are usually some hints dropped in the days/weeks leading to a debut.
Hope this helps!

Is there an annual window where new products are introduced/released? Just curious as i I wait for the color combo of the S19to be released.
Recently the website was updated to display "only a few left!" next to an item in your cart if it is a low-stock item. Note, the item has to be in your cart for this to work and only displays this alert when you're viewing your cart.
Obviously waiting to order something is annoying, but TB is a small company that has decided to remain small even as the internet has made more people aware of them and as a result, increased demand.
Now to your question. If a color is not listed on a page, it isn't coming soon but you might get lucky if someone returns one. If a color is in production, it is coming in 2-12wks. Sometimes color combos are never repeated and so if you have a specific combo in mind, you can email customer service (who are very helpful) to find out about likely availability.
What is your preferred color for the S19?

Here's a quote from another thread to illustrate Tom's "release cycle" and ordering capabilities:

Since they did relase two S19 models last Friday, I'm guessing that the rest of the Tom Bihn Twitter reply about the remaining Synapse 19s is also likely to be accurate. (Excerpted from Friday's post in the New Bags and Colors Ready To Order sticky thread.

It's kinda like the soup guy from Seinfeld, except with bags.Last edited by GrussGott; 10-09-2017, 09:25 AM.
