I can see why it’s being discounted but originally $500.00 at retail? Really?
Swiss Army Jacket? Does it have a bunch of hidden tools?
Because when it’s sold to the Swiss Army, there are cost overruns.
It better be like Jerry’s trench coat in Parker Lewis Can’t Lose.
Heh, it’s a translucent jacket. Which means it’s made from those cheap garbage bags that tear open when you try to tie them off.
Sheesh, for $500 couldn’t they at least spring for a Hefty Lawn & Leaf bag?
It’s translucent; the tool inside will be clearly visible.
The first review made me laugh, because of your title:
And it certainly does look like a garbage bag.
What do the Swiss need with a gun flap?
For me it said 350 euros original… not a strange price for a jacket around here (although I wouldn’t pay it).
There are loads of gunsin Switzerland.
Made in China. That’s where the real Swiss Army gets its gear.
That’s why they can still profit at the marked down price.
I’ve done a lot of contract manufacturing overseas in China. Sometimes you really don’t have a choice, the materials you need to make your product are only made in Asia. For example, do you know of any European garbage bag makers? What was Victorinox going to do? Buy garbage bags at Sam’s Club and turn them into coats? Too expensive!
