Of what?
If you mean the Portland ones you need to factor in the shipping from the US, taxes (which will be a fuck load) and the cost of embroidery (not part of the price I quoted when I was writing about them at the start). I can't say I know for sure, because I don't, but I can't see there being much in it once all of those things are taken into account.
If we go the Woolistic way shipping would be loads cheaper, no tax will be payable when they hit our shores because they are coming from inside the EU (or Switzerland) and that price includes the embroidery. Also we get to sleep easy knowing that they don't use sweatshop labour.
