    Well after a couple of weeks of waiting my Repsol jacket has finally arrived, though to be fair, the first one they sent vanished en route.
    This one arrived three days after posting from Pakistan.

    I know some cringe when stuff bought from Asia is mentioned, but this is really good quality, nice thick heavy leather and well put together.
    As a bit of pub trivia, at one time 80% of all leather footballs were made in Pakistan so their experience of leather goods is very high.
    Which is why I had no worries about buying from there, and at £80 inc p+p I'm a happy bunny :)

    I think most A* stuff is made in Asia. Certainly Kushitani and RS Taichi.

    I think only Furygan, Scott and Wolf make stuff vaguely locally. Unless you're going the made to measure route...

    very nice mate, seems like a bargain for £80...is it made to measure?

    Do they have the better quality HRC version? :D

    They may do, only it takes a bit longer getting here than the Repsol :p

    Yeah Dave I've just had a look at the Repsol suit , looks the business, but at £500 I'd be dubious and then there's the full one month guarantee on the zips and stitching for your peace of mind:) might go for it then :D
