What price comes up if you access the site from the States ?
I'm comparing like to like.
ELC's "Original Contract" design ;
http://www.eastmanleather.com/product_i ... cts_id=163
£ 699.99 = $1085...plus $62 shipping and approx. $60 duties= approx. $1200
to a Goodwear contract.;
http://www.goodwearleather.com/pages/a2_star.html
$1149 + $25 shipping = aprox. $1175
When I pull up the "standard" ELC A2, it says nothing about VAT and shipping being included in the advertised price;

I just asked Gary about the price of a jacket last night. He emailed that;
"The price you see on the website doesn't include VAT to the US, so the price you see is the price you would pay (plus postage of course)."
Is ELC charging us folks in the states a higher base price than you folks in the UK??
