Help needed for RL A2 Jacket

[JonnyCrow]

Is that B-3 label in the G-1?

Mikey look at this Ralph Lauren A2 190, look at the liner and talon zipper in comparison to that overpriced G1

I guess it is at the end of the day a fashion jacket, but they seem to make a reasonable go of it up to a point and then spoil the ship for a ha’porth of tar. Aimed at a different client base, methinks.

Exactly Mikey, why not go the whole 5 yards, they're nearly there anyway, but like most designer stuff anyway they're out of reach of your common Joe usually, you see them here and they're never cheap

Seen it on vinted, I think price is 2 times higher than it should.

Jerome just seen the Ralph Lauren B10 for 135 on vinted, I like that much much better

Seen a couple of these in the past and actually thought they looked pretty good if not a tad lighter/ thinner hide than the repros most of us know. RL do have a decent record for turning out military styles for the fashionista’s - I have a RL M421a and really like it, bought via someone here who mentioned a source that had some when, trying to find another decent repro, let alone an original, seemed impossible! Like others $2-300 is what I might consider paying, no higher judging by its condition.

Ralph Lauren do a lot of those m421a jackets, seen a lot on a Spanish site averaging out at 60-70 euros

Burt your ass would fall out if I told you haha, 900 euros!

That’s just nuts!
Especially when an original can be had for 1/3 to 1/2 the price .
