Well, an average leather jacket costs around $1k, this really expensive cpp 10 times as much ; what's the ratio between an average car at $10k and a rolls?
Even his $5k jackets are so completely out of my range, a $10k looks at least as far from where I'm sitting to be truthful.
There's one thing I like though, is that he still goes out of his way to design things totally separated from what can be considered non-core concerns for a fashion design: 'wearability for the average person'(*) or price accessibility, and I think this is something great.
(*) I read somewhere that some Le Corbusier buildings was build for ideal man of 1m80...I guess he would be wearing something like the 'join'-jacket.

I think for the true CCP customer, that price isn't really "absurd" if you consider the rest of the line. It's just a high ticket item.
Wearability for the average person isn't usually on the minds of high end labels for the most part. That's usually a concern for the mid/mass market. The only thing that matters is if the piece is wearable to the brands specific customer/client, and if he/she would be willing to spend that much.
