Not really the same thing, is it?
I've not been impressed by the finishing on some Rapha stuff either. Buttons falling off, loose stitches, etc. Not ideal for a "premium" brand. PT Base Layer, 3/4 shorts and Hardshell have been solid, but others need some attention in the QC dep. Assos bibshorts and jerseys are definitely better quality.

Same shit with many of the big globally recognised fashion brands.

Has anyone ever tried to return their Castelli bib shorts because the Scorpion logo has peeled off a bit in the wash? They'd tell you to do-one quick time.
