Why in the world they insist with this kind of workshopped leather ageing is beyond my imagination :?

And price... I can't believe there will be to many takers in the UK @ £575 for a humble
1/4" fleece that's been in a fight with some sandpaper
But look at the jeans market. I mean, who buys some of the stuff out there...and why? I guess ELC are looking to attract a new type of buyer, especially with their garments now being sold in a Central London store. Making the jackets available in both new and time worn version would seem a more sensible approach though.deeb7 said:I don't get it, if I wanted one that looked like a vintage original, I'd buy a vintage original.
What's next? ... the deluxe version, with removed label, a torn cuff, artificial moth holes, and a liberal spraying with essence of body odour?
