3, Would you purchase any of the new range, if not why?
4, Have you purchased any Land Rover Gear/Merchandise in the past?
5, What would you like to see Land Rover Gear do in the future with their products?Send a paypal payment direct using this link https://paypal.me/duckworthparts
Pretty much the same here.
1)looks good but too expensive for me
2)No
3) unlikely due to the price. Eg £175 for the jacket, you could pick up a good quality branded one for that amount and it all seems more FFRR than LR
4) yes, bits and pieces over the years
5) as the others say, make it realisticaly affordableI started off with nothing and Ive still got most of it left.

I've been bought a jacket and watch in the past as presents.
Wouldn't buy anything myself as it's too expensive for what it is.
At the moment the range looks like everyday clothes with an added logo and it's difficult to charge premium rates for these. For things like this to be special, LR need to market products unique to the brand or vehicle. For instance, how about a smart looking watch that has the keyless key-fob built in? (or handbags!)

Hi Dan, must pop around soon to buy some bits but in answer:
1, OK range but shocking prices; LR is a premium car brand, not a premium brand for clothing and bags. Need to lower prices if LR want us to be walking advertising for them!
2, No.
3, Not at those prices.
4, Yes, when prices made it ok to buy a LR brolly, mug or bag. Still use the LR brolly!
5, What would you like to see Land Rover Gear do in the future with their products? Have realistic expectations regarding price.

1, pretentious overpriced tat. Bit too Gerry McGovern for my liking!
2, No.
3, Cufflinks for £225? Credit card holder £70? £215 for a nylon holdall? I guess whoever prices this stuff is the same person who is busy putting up the prices of vehicle parts Nothing relevant to an enthusiast, off roader and die-hard LR fan.
4, Yes. Loads, sitting in one of my 2 LR hoodies right now. I have LRE and LR shirts, trousers, waterproofs, key rings, USB Defender, leather bush hat, various outdoor and indoor mugs, stickers, t shirts by the dozen, adventure bear with his flat cap and barbour jacket, ties, cycle and walking books, kite etc etc.
I have to admit a lot were bought as over stocks etc at LR shows over the years as the list prices were OTT even when Land Rover Gear had good stuff. My everyday bag for work is this one but got it for £29 instead of the list £59. Great bit of kit but not £60 worth
5, Not fussed, if they are focused on urban trendy Evoque drivers so be it. Plenty of other places I can spend my money, as per item 4 I have spent quite a bit over 25+ years of being a LR enthusiast. There is a whole brand issue/confusion here that I won't go on about, but other respondents are also alluding to.
The Ice Hat was a huge seller over the last year or two? Surely that gives a clue.....Tony

I'd agree with most here. I have had loads of the old t shirts and clothing in the past. Now the stuff looks like a bloody golf shop tat...... prices are very high for what isn't necessary good quality.
Have lost there way for sure. Sounds like the same people who come up with the parts pricing increases.....
