I love the stuff, but I wonder if they realise that they are selling more expensive than their Ferrari cousins, a Ferrari Scuderia Jacket is €160
I can't see the logic since they are all owned by same company, surely the pricing should be the other way round no?

I agree, I couldn't believe the prices. A pricing rethink is badly in need. The polo shirt should be £35 - £40 but £50? The hooded jacket £200 - £250 but £450? I know the saying 'you get what you pay for' but this is definitely stretching the loyalty of the Abarth clientete. |

Just to be clear, we don't set the prices, and we've massaged them about as much as we can. Next time you're at an event, feel free to grab the Abarth UK guys and pass on your feedback.  |

Alex we totally get its not you that sets the prices I actually think that maybe this could be pointed towards Kappa and not abarth, puma who also work with ferrari could be considered a 'cheaper' brand, maybe thats the answer? |

Goodness gracious, I wasn't taking pot shots at you, in fact your items are cheaper here than on gigastore! We take our (Abarth) caps off to you for keeping prices lower. It's just Kappa and their marketing people who needs to rethink their pricing strategy as DanDeyong has rightly pointed that Ferrari items are cheaper than Abarth! |

It's definitely the Kappa element. There's an earlier range of Kappa gear that we didn't even bother listing, but given the interest in this new stuff at Silverstone, I thought we should give it a shot.
I've got a few other things to add in over the next couple of days. More in a bit.

Couple of quick additions this evening. Another £399 Kappa jacket:  A slightly more reasonably-priced £99.99 Kappa ladies' sweat shirt:  From the original Abarth range, the black hooded long-sleeve sweat shirt is back (£59.99):  Also from the original range, the ladies' tank top and T-shirt are back (£18.99) as are the kids' T-shirts (£15.99) although all are currently special order only. The White Gold Scorpion cuff links have been slashed to within an inch of their lives to £199.99 (I know, I know...) And the Blue&Me TomTom Sat Nav for the new Punto Evo has been added (£259.99), more details of which can be found here. |

I've got the Squadra Corsa jacket in black (the £135) one and it is absolutely gorgeous and well made. If anybody is considering the silver one, go for it! Although the 'cut' of the jacket is in the slim style so if your rocking the love handles I'd suggest going a size larger than normal.

Where did you get the black one from, i would like the £135.99 men's Sweat Shirt but in black... Do we know if these items come in different colours or is it as pictured? |

Abarth seemed to have some good prices on their merchandise at the Moving Motor Show the other week - picked up the keyring for £5.99 and my girlfriend got the tank top for £17.99 and a tennis hat/visor thing (which doesn't seem to be in the store but it's quite nice) for a few pounds cheaper than the current prices - maybe that'd be a good time next year for picking up the more expensive items - if they brought any along that is - can't picture many £400 jackets get sold!

Got it off Gigastore this time last year. Doesn't appear to be on there now though. Itits a tad more 'conservative' shall we say than the silver one. I'll post pics later. Craig |

I went to Flannels and Selfridges in Birmingham yesterday and they had gorgeous Gucci and Armani jackets, some of them were quilted. I could get them for less than the price of a hooded Abarth jacket except the Gucci leather quilted jacket reduced to £995 from £1995...
The Armani jacket was bright red.
I'm torn between them!

There's some very nice looking stuff in the latest listings, but as others have said, not quite at bargain prices.......... if I manage to hold out for the rest of the year (unlikely!), I guess that gives Santa Claus some ideas for what to bring me!
