Brands in their Home Market: Fred Perry in the UK? G-Star in the Netherlands? [PICS]

[0ld School]

Just picked up a knitted, striped, long-sleeved Fred Perry top the other day for $AUD220. Though Fred Perry is an English brand, i understand all their knitted products are made in Italy.

For those in the UK or Italy, how much would a similar item be in either country whether in Euros or Pounds?

By the same token, i've been looking at a pair of G-Star handcrafteds for $400. How much would a similar item be in the home market of Netherlands?

Any feedback on either question would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: $AUD400. Those were for the handcrafteds.

Nice jeans. Far from any pair you'd see at Urban outfitters. Either one rinse or raw denim (can't remember) with hand sewn hems.

I've seen two different models of the handcrafteds.

One is essentially the Radar Low in handcrafted industrial-looking denim. Essentially slouch front and back pockets and buckle back. The other is a much more "regular" cut not as low or baggy as the Radar and abit more subtle and understated. The denim in both appeared largely identical.

Both were $AUD400.

I know there must be some Dutch SFers, any comments on the price issue?
