Real talk: What makes this scarf worth $100, and what justifies the $400 MSRP for a black scarf?
EDIT: I just looked at Hogarth's own site and this scarf in 100% cashmere is $100 there. https://www.hogarth-design.com/scarves/hogarth-solid-black-cashmere-scarf
This is a bad drop and Massdrop should feel bad.

SkeletoramaA better question would have been if this is worth twice as much as the slightly smaller but 100% cashmere green and crimson Royal Speyside scarf dropping concurrently.

OnePunchMan$100 USD converted from pounds, and that still doesn't answer where they got the quadruple MSRP from. Twice the size doesn't justify four times the cost.

SkeletoramaLet assume the one that you found is 100 pounds, convert into US$ is around ~$135, plus taxes and fees is $150. Now this one double the size then it would be ~$300. Now this is online shopping so you wouldn't know about how the fabric feel, thickness, manufacturing process differences, how cost scale as size increase(linear or exponential), ... Unless we can find something exactly the same on their website, it is really hard to judge. If you want to know if Massdrop inflated the price or not, the best thing to do is take a screenshot then email and ask the manufacture i guess.

SkeletoramaWe are taking about MSRP here, so no, it's 100 GBP. The discount on that site have nothing to do here.
