The best part of 5,000 euros for that? Hahahaha!
Très gauche.
Definitely one for the "more money than sense" crowd
I'd like to see one of these Burberrys in person and compare it against an Eastman, Flyboy, or whatever, to see how it holds up in terms of quality (as opposed to design, which will always be a subjective preference).
Now that would be interesting Edward! I've seen some shockingly bad workmanship on "designer label" clothing. Just my personal opinion but Burberry of today is not the Burberry of 60, 70 years ago.
Zip and buckles are matt black on mine and suit me perfectly this way ; but I love the "distressed brushed brass colour" at least as much !
Since the leather version is very hot and quite heavy, I often have my collar down, as presented in the picture below. The jacket is lighter like that. Indoors, when I have to remove it a lot or to take it with me, I put the jacket on my shoulders, like a cape. I only add the second collar when it's very cold outside.
How did you wear it finally, what are your new habits ?
..
As for the price, yes it's a lot and I'm by no means rich (21 with no job) but I just buy a few high quality pieces of clothing that I know are timeless pieces and will last me forever instead of buying cheaper clothes that will fall apart within a few months.

I dunno man, I'm not sure whether to feel better or shoot myself after reading this lolWhy don't we face it. These nice, young guys are just in the wrong forum. Nothing wrong with their choice of jackets or what they want to spend on something, which just isn't what it tries to be. We are just too old fashioned to see it. We believe in history, design, stitch by stitch accuracy. We faint at the sight of plastic or words like "artificial leather".We would rather spend hours and weeks searching the internet or flea markets for that one, special, authentic zipper, than go into a high end fashion store and dump some cash. We just don't get it! We can tell them again and again about real Irvins and real A2's - but they don't care. They want fashion and the security that comes with wearing a brand. Our brands are different. They are out of style to them.Names like Irvin, Links, Wareings, IAC or Dots doesn't mean a thing.We are out of date. They are hot. We are not.Best of luck guys! Enjoy your jackets. Cheers!
We are out of date. They are hot. We are not.

Indubitably!
Far better to be an old fart than a new fart
That crossed my mind as well. When I was 21 and no job, visiting university at that time, I couldn't spend 400 Deutschmarks for a jacket, let alone 4000...I KNOW I'm out of date.........but maybe I didn't learn too much along the way.
We got unemployed 21 year olds gonna buy current fashion statement $2,000 jackets. I ain't smart enough to figure that one out! How does one do that?
