It can't be that simple. The customer at this $$$ level is not the one who wants the best, it's the one who's most obsessed.DUBOWA2 said:I guess there is a market for this repro high end clothing for the customer who wants the best !

They respect and admire the quality and craftsmanship that went into a 30's Brown's beach cloth jacket or the denim used by Sears in the 40's for their Hercules denim jackets and overalls or the cotton duck used in 50's Carhartt jackets or the work boots made by Wesco or even J.C. Penny's. The point is they appreciate the quality and heritage more than we do and are willing to pay for it.
