The price for most everything is going up. I agree 100000% that premium jacket prices are going through the roof. We are not the “normal” jacket customers. Forum members have purchased many jackets over the years. The days of owning many premium jackets are soon to be over.
High-end and low-end are what sells in the retail world today. Little room for profitable mid-range items. Just look at global sales of anything. I’ll bet ELC, Good Wear and Aero could charge $2,000 for their A-2’s and they would still be super busy. Quality supplies for these jackets have also gone way up.
These are marketed for the semi-sane buyer who is comfortable/almost comfortable shelling out a lot of cash for the ONE super awesome jacket. These prices for one-time buys still seem to work pretty well and IMO could stand to go higher. I hope they don't!!!!!
Total bummer for us jacket nuts.
Well said that man. The way to deal with it is to fight it tooth and nail. I'm not about to sit back and let my future and my family's future go down the drain because of liars, racists and gullible fools.If anyone else tells me to stop moaning and deal with it I swear I will effing metaphorically swing for them.
Eastman are very reasonable when compared to Real McCoys (Japan)
The price of a B3 in their London shop.. ??
2995 GBP
I wonder who would pay £2995 for a RM B-3 when they could buy three for the same money from ELC!
