I'm not really sure what the retail on my trench (incidentally, Prorsum) was, but I see prices quoted around $2200. At that price point one can get Neapolitan bespoke or for a little bit more Thomas Mahon bespoke. That's why I consider Burberry overpriced. But I'm not the type to buy stuff for their brand value so I generally consider luxury brands overpriced, even though I wouldn't mind owning some bottega veneta stuff because it's gorgeous!

BTW what is the pecking order in terms of Burberry lines? Is London the highest quality/most expensive or is that Prorsum or maybe Thomas Burberry?
