“If someone has seen it / has It.”

I don’t believe anyone has seen it in person yet ..... because it hasn’t been shipped to the stores. In fact, I think that if you even order it on the website today the shipment will be delayed.

”Do you find it overpriced?”

Well of course it‘s overpriced ..... it’s Double RL. Stuffed teddy bear $495, set of hand woven cup coasters $295, tie clip $495, t-shirt $125, key fob $95, slippers $295 ..... bottle opener $225. I think someone may not be paying close attention.

But, to be fair, let me just put on my rose colored RRL goggles (an absolute steal at only $495) and take a closer look. That Shetland wool-cotton jacquard jacket is priced at $1,400 (full price). So that’s like what? Two teddy bears and a tie clip? Or, two bottle openers, a teddy bear, t-shirt and a set of coasters? If it sounds any better, it’s less than ten key fobs and a tie clip? The price of the jacket doesn’t sound quite so bad when you translate it into RRL terms.

All kidding aside, the jacket looks awesome. But it will look even more awesome when it is discounted IMHO.

Well, I was probably not clear enough.
Of course we may be saying we are buying over priced products when it comes to RRL but I was more wondering if you find it overpriced in comparison with other RRL non leather jackets. What do you think ?

“Overpriced” is subjective ??

Furry hood fleece making it look like I'm out for a nordic trek. But it's actually 52F and sunny. The sunny part is unusual for Seattle in January.

This came in. The collar makes it look like it should be worn when it's cold out, but the lining is too light for cold weather, say, 25 or 20F. Good fit except too snug to layer a heavy sweater or vest. If it didn't have the shearling collar or had a heavier lining I'd probably keep it. It'd be nice to have a few more details for the money.
Took @DavidLane 's advice and tracked down the suede chore coat which is on the way.

Furry hood fleece length is good for me. I'm 6 foot and it's a large.
I've noticed lately some RRL has been running kind of short though. The indigo french terry sweatshirt and the browns beach cloth fleece jacket are both a bit short.

I received this the other day too but I appreciate that it's got a relatively light weight lining. It means I can wear it a lot more since it rarely gets very cold here. Perfect for my PNW Cowboy Cosplay.

Sounds good. What temp range or seasons do you anticipate wearing it?
