Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Oswald agree with doubletap .. I've heard stories where companies have sourced from far east and got better quality. One story went along the lines of the far east company engineering manager actualling having some product made incorrectly boxing them up in a seperate box marked faulty and sending them to the US company because the US company couldn't understand they had achieved six sigma

i'm not surprised. american apparel is so called made in the states and that hoodie that cost me 24quid (ok, nothing compared to that rapha thing) that i didn't actually wear too much broke along the seams and threads are fraying everywhere in less than 2 months. i don't even have problems with clothes i buy for 2 quid at the charity shop, or any other clothing item that's obviously made in china. what gives?
