I didn’t infer that at all.
I know you didn't mean to, hence I wrote 'seemed' - but that's how it can be interpreted.
I said they don’t make any products. They don’t
This is a controversial statement and requires a detailed understanding of modern supply chains and manufacturing to make sense of. It needed clarification in the context of userblahblah's comment, and @monkdagola provided that.
I thought the previous post about banging some pink on it was simply facetious and obviously not implying they’ve actually just stuck a Rapha label on someone else’s product but rather they’ve gone to a company or manufacturer who have experience of making those such products.
It's funny because I think that's exactly what the post implies, or rather I don't see much difference between white labelling and going to a supplier who can because you can't - and that's the problem with interpretation, I guess.

If rapha don't own any factories then they've gone to suppliers who can because they can't for every one of their products. There is a difference.
We for example have multiple suppliers all over the globe some of whom specialise in jersey fabrics, we wouldn't have them make a wool coat, we go to a supplier with experience of wool outerwear. Its still designed in house though.

I know how supply chain works, I don’t think that Rapha white label so I wouldn’t be implying that they do would I?
