eBay doesn’t have a monopoly on silliness…

Granted, the leather looks pretty good, but a wind flap AND a storm flap?????

Picky, picky.

Picky, picky.

Yes - I wish they’d pick one!

How much they asked for it? Three brand new GW?

Just about!

If you're spending that much you want to be comfortable in Wind and Storm. You don't know when the weather will change for the worse so don't leave it to chance - "belt and braces"?

And the top snap on the wind flap attaches where? The collar snap?

Price on that is insane, but it just goes to show you what rich people will pay to ‘get a look’ from a designer brand (personally I don’t care for RL all that much).

For someone using only a 1Euro plastic watch, even a 200 Euro Seiko is silly or even out of reach…
The same can be scaled-up/transfered is applicable for a lot of ( useless at the end ) things.
Note: I am no RL fan…

damn shame, since the hides look good. over designed, and over priced. should be a coupla hundred $ on greedbay in a year or so.

 

[denny@aero]

you'd think at that price they could at least fit the zip properly ! , shocking how wavy it is , no tension to it

4.000 US means 16 !!!!! A2 jackets from @Shawn Ali and his guys from Fivestar and finally they are reproductions also but more accurate on the details than the RALPH LAUREN ...

Thomas, I bet you convert everything in fivestar jackets am I right?
My monthly wage is .... fivestar jackets, the price of that car is .... fivestar jackets,
My wive spent .... fivestar jackets on that new shoes....

Just jokin'

And more stitching on the windflap than a Perry three-piece!

 

[Silver Surfer]

the zipper is probably wavy because the "treatment" to the hides was done after the jacket was made. often,, this kinda wavy zipper can be seen on a-2s that have shrunk a bit.

I recall seeing an RL A2 some good few years back and at the time was quite impressed by the look and feel, just not the price and last year they had one with a seam across the back! If some of the wealthier general public pay those prices then the ELC and GW’s are ‘reasonable’ and certainly more bespoke!!

Looks accurate from the back too.

 

[mulceber]

Gotta say, the combination of a plain back with a half-belt is strange.
