I wonder when somebody is going to come along and match Rapha in everything but price.

Haven't tried them, but Torm[1] does this. Sportswool, "classic" styling, a lot cheaper than Rapha.

Torm was so Rapha-esque they even got in a bit of trouble for it, I believe.

Twin Six and Road Holland also have some combo of minimal/classic and wool jerseys for good prices. The former of which definitely has some crazy stuff as well, but their basics are quite well made.

Vulpine, Cafe Du Cycliste, and a few other euro brands are in the same style and go on sale somewhat more regularly as well.
