    A barf worthy rip off of an appropriated pattern

    That is more interesting in a way, it is a coat with typical MC detailing, not a jacket anymore. As an experiment it is interesting. But I think it would be more interesting with buttons instead of that long zip.

    Yes, of course, brand cachet is much more prevalent outside of the forum. We tend to be more pragmatic overall in this forum. Nevertheless, I had felt there was a trend to look for brands even here. Hence why I have been harping on just choosing a top end leather that is the best fit for oneself...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    It is always better to discuss of course :) These thoughts you quoted came from reading what @Aloysius wrote earlier, didn't think too much about it, but in any case, let's start with "prestige", it can be interpreted in many ways both positive and negative. For example, last ski holidays I...
