Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Wow. Now I feel old (er)

Now I love Rapha as much as the next idiot, but this is a fucking joke right?

Plus it matches @anthonyj 's 'its made in the first world so must be great quality and the labour must be happy' standard

cant leave it alone hey @amey despite what you said before.

so lets look at what Rapha could be for the UK then, and then we'd all be happy at paying the prices across the board for their kit

https://www.loeffler.at/en/the-world-of-loeffler/production/

but of course these guys must be unhinged to ship their fabrics to Austria only, employ workers under EU laws,emissions and recycling/waste under EU laws, shipping under EU laws and standards, lower mileage transport... etc etc - and able to produce high enough volumes and quality to supply high street chains in Europe, as well as online.

i guess i just dont know the fashion Industry to think this could be done this way

ps. I have their Goretex Active jackets, 3 years on, still superb.

Bit daft

Hah. That's kinda weird goofy cool.

But maybe an early April Fool.

lol id say 4 years young ago.

anyways if someone is interested let me know, tbh i wanna purchase jbs singlespeed so need to free up some cash moniez

lolz, a good friend of mine has one,,,oh how we laughed

i guess i just dont know the fashion Industry to think this could be done this way

To be fair, Loeffler been around since the early 70s. And who knows who is bankrolling them. Or not.

I don't see the point in these business a vs. business b, when you can't really know for certain how they operate and why.

I agree, terrible idea to link to a competitor for comparisons

plus their kit is ugly

Not an April Fool. Fit and QC could still make a mockery of things based on my last order.

£500....you kidding me right?

£500 for a coat isn't particularly insane

It just needs to be a great coat :)

I am going to keep posting this link: http://veilance.arcteryx.com/ProductFind.aspx?country=gb&language=en&collection=Veilance_Collection_Spring_2017

Plus net a porter etc.

Rapha is 'fashion'.

Knowing me, if this is going on sale later on the year I will probably get it

Everytime something like this drops, I am tempted AF but then I realise I don't work in an industry where I can pull off that kind of clothing .. well maybe I can but I am not a twat

...

I thought you worked in UX?

UI m8

Had to double check the email. Thought @pastry_bot might be the latest forumer to take the rapha modelling dollar..
