I agree - when Rapha first started i bought quite a few of their initial range - and still have most of them and they are still pretty good and outlasted a few other items i got at the same time (assos i'm looking at you!) but a few things since then have not been great - and when i say great i mean , "is it worth such a high premium...." the result for me is no, and even in the Sales i've decided my principle still holds.

never used to be that way tho. I compared the new city rain jacket to the old Rapha Paul Smith one and I don't think the quality of construction is anywhere near the same. I still have a few things like the proteam softshell jacket that I love but I'd probably just go for Classic only items now, although that's as much to do with the fact that a lot of the designs getting put out are fucking stinking now too.
