Thanks. I knew there probably would be something about it somewhere, I just hadn't looked.
My perception of fake stuff has always been that the cut is shit, and what I've seen supports that. Lots of people on other forums talking about how well made fake stuff is though, but then they're probably the same people who don't believe in paying more than £30 for any piece of cycling clothing and that this is the epitome of good value and style.
Just pondering, anyway.

Are rapha a super-ethical manufacturer? I've not seen anything to suggest so, I was under the impression that they made all their stuff in far east sweat shops.
For £15 I'm not expecting any after sales to be honest. May try some 'assos' stuff as presumably the fake rapha isn't going to use sportswool type stuff as @yemble says. Stuff that's already polyester is probably easier to fake.
Will investigate anyway.
