I mean, it's one coat, Michael. What could it cost? A thousand pounds?
I just got a mail from United - if you want Ruben's black coat, I have news..........

It's a nice coat. Lots of designer clothes are expensive. you can be trainers for £20 or £20,000 so I don't get the people outraged at the price. Just bought a coat recently so won't buy this but if I hadn't recently bought one, I would definitely consider the Ruben appeal!
There's always money in the meat pie stand
The zip up sweater he wears is also Paul Smith. They're a club sponsor / partner so I guess a lot of the players / staff get kitted out with their stuff
Paul Smith have a partnership with UTD. ETH used to wear a lot of PS clothes that wasnt a fashion choice that's what they offer.
You can most likely visit the PS boutique in central Manchester and find some cool (but rather expensive) stuff.
If you lucky you might land some deals in Bicester Village.
I love PS, my wedding suite was PS, but those clothes are freaking expensive and honestly not that well made.

Paul Smith had a nice shop in Covent Garden back in the 90s. I bought a couple of things from there that I still wear. Good quality clothing.
He also has the same coat that EtH used to wear. That one is way more expensive. This Paul Smith one is only doubly more expensive than a good winter coat that us proper Northerners get for the winter.
I remember going to his shop in Nottingham back where he first started. Thought it was even a little expensive back then. But then again I was really young -- and back when I could get a pair of Doc Martin for like 12-14 quid.
Bet those looked great pedalling your penny farthing home.
Can’t see it going on sale if it was old out before. I’d definitely be tempted if it was reduced but still a lot of money even then and it’s definitely worth the RRP.
Lovely jacket in fairness. I loved those UBR jackets ETH used to wear. I actually splashed out on one with my Christmas bonus last year. Most I’ve ever spent on a jacket but around half the cost of the PS jacket.
Why not? I don't think it's considered a classic staple piece and won't be surprised if they're discounted in the summer. I like Paul Smith designs too and the ones I've bought on sale have lasted me years - even if they are overpriced.
I liked that grey one Mourinho would wear, an Adidas/Porsche Design crossbranding thing.
Don't mind the hoodie Amourim has been wearing a lot lately. Saw someone post on here recently that Goldbridge was criticising him/the club for trying to market the club merch whcih seemed odd, loads of managers wear club gear and always have.

I bought a Jimmy Hourihan Donegal tweed coat back in 1990. Looks as good as the day I bought it and keeps out all the cold. For keeping out the rain and sleet though, there's nothing to beat a Barbour.
As someone who collects luxury and limited edition jackets and coats it’s too boring for the price.
Does it come with a pair of khakis for a matching set?
This sounds extremely space intensive. I struggle to cram but a few jackets into a downstairs cupboard.

I would be too embarassed to tell you how much a pint costs back then.

I just looked at it and agree fully. I know someone who had a Canada Goose coat (same price range), went to the pub, left it over the back of the chair while chatting to someone and it was nicked. Then heard another story similar when telling someone. Cant understand why any ordinary people would spend this obscene amount on something you could get for £50-£100 quid. A coat to keep you dry and warm.
You can't know which pieces go on sale, when and by how much. You just have to watch out for sales and if something is worth it, you can grab it. For me at least, who buys mostly luxury brands, I never ever pay full price.
You just aren't buying the same quality for 50-100 quid. Leaving the brand aside it is also about the longevity of the item and the way it makes you feel whenever you put it on. The fact it was stolen, just shows the desirability of the product.
Which means that Amorim/United paid precisely zero quid for that jacket.
Not that he couldn't afford 5 per day.
It's an awful looking yoke
And Paul Smith was probably out about 20 quid in manufacturing and shipping costs.
Yeah, or less even.
Every single person wears coats like that for half the year (where I live). You get them from the monthly market in the village, they're about 40 euros.
Yes, it is a very nice one
As for price... It is PS, it would be a shock if it were not expensive
