I will speak up because I have been to SMS;
With the odd exception, SMS material is always 'old stock'.
As I recall being told, on occasion SMS will get material made to fill a hole in he market but (as far as I know) the backbone of their business is on selling old stock material.
I believe that they will always disclose if the material you are interested in is original (old stock) or replacement material.
I was last there to purchase old stock corduroy material for the '73 Formula that I owned (which by the way is now back in my brother's possession).
