cant leave it alone hey @amey despite what you said before.
so lets look at what Rapha could be for the UK then, and then we'd all be happy at paying the prices across the board for their kit

but of course these guys must be unhinged to ship their fabrics to Austria only, employ workers under EU laws,emissions and recycling/waste under EU laws, shipping under EU laws and standards, lower mileage transport... etc etc - and able to produce high enough volumes and quality to supply high street chains in Europe, as well as online.
i guess i just dont know the fashion Industry to think this could be done this way
ps. I have their Goretex Active jackets, 3 years on, still superb.
Plus it matches @anthonyj 's 'its made in the first world so must be great quality and the labour must be happy' standard
