Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

For a feckin ugly jacket made from old parachute cloth? Do tell me more about this 'real world'.

I reckon it's a fair reflection of what it costs to make. Do you not? If a similar item were mass-manufactured in China, the price would, of course, be a joke. Add the hours of work involved up at a decent UK wage, I'd be surprised if they're making much money on 600 pieces, even if they sell them all.

The clothing prices that people ought to have a problem with is stuff that's made very cheaply on a large scale in China/Vietnam/Turkey/Romania and sold for a lot of money, like £100 Nikes. Not this. You're paying for a small bespoke manufacturing run and the design. If you don't like the design, that's cool, but hate on the design, not the price.
