If the big P can do cargos for £11 why would Rapha's production costs be so different?
Can Primark engineer shorts to turn transparent over time or a shirt fabric that reliably
develops holes after a short time? Thought not.

Completely agree.. the R**** are skilled at engineering and marketing holy shirts and transparent shorts. The big P just get on with selling cheap stuff and try not to produce threadbare shirts and diaphanous shorts.
Edit to add.. I haven't experienced the wonders of R**** engineered holes and transparency so I'm taking your word for it.

Do you really believe this?

As someone who's laughed at the faux heritage and second wave materials of the range since the beginning I think that the cargo trousers really sum up the age we live in. R***** have always just been a lifestyle brand. Now that the original owners have cashed in, the race to the bottom begins.
