Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

I recently bought a fresh pair of PT tights, threw them in the machine for a first wash without even wearing them. Came out with an interlock stich, the one holding the chamois in place on the outside, completly loose. Unravelled about 40cm on the gentle wool cycle with just my other kit in the same load.

Would not buy again. Will return and buy Albion instead, winter drop supposed next week.

My cargo tights are a little smaller than I’d expected. They are great though, pockets handy I find on stops particularly somewhere to put glove hat etc. Warm and slight water repellent.
I’ve been having same thoughts though.
