Belstaff Jackets

Greasemonkey said:

Maybe it's because of the Belstaff jackets that we all don't get a contract from Ineos? Maybe they underestimated the need for jackets?

Of course it's a joke!

But what happened to the jackets? On the website they are still listed under equipment. However, they no longer appear in the configurator and nobody talks about them. How should that work with the jackets at all? When the vehicle was delivered, was there a jacket in any size or color that no one else wanted, or did you get a voucher that you could redeem somewhere in a branch or in an online shop?

I've been told these are not the real item. If not , they are fooling a fair few people.

What do you mean by saying „these are not the real items“? Do you suppose there will be a special jacket designed for IG owners by Belstaff? That’s fine for me. As Belstaff is owned by Ineos they will not have great costs and will deliver something (at least) ok.

So Dave should take forum orders and get a handling fee per jacket. Could be a win win deal ...

I've been told they are made in China. The rip off experts.

Well…
there is quite a lot made in countries with lower costs for work. I am sure that this can be a lustful conversation but it should be moved to the antiglobalisation thread.
Do you know anybody in your greater neighbourhood who earns his/her money with sewing?
Even the clothes of hightec materials for military, police and firefighters are produced in low cost countries. Not only for the price but as well for the reason that there still are workers who know how to do the job (I see that they loose their work as soon as they become more expensive than the next country…)
So what do you expect? That Belstaff clothes are produced by members of the „high society“ in London or Sydney?

Maybe my writing is it a little hard. Apologies therefore.

I just want to know what the difference is , quality wise.
The old saying , you get what you pay for.

I am sure you can produce a hell of a jacket and sell it for 200 $. The prices we pay for branded clothing are 50 - 80% marketing and shareholder prices. They are not close to the production prices.
