Fake clothing

[RadcliffeRick]

I must have bought twenty for friends, family and myself from DHgate with absolutely no issues

My shirt is from China, I have no problems with it, the quality is good. For 10 pounds you can't complain!!

Reading this article, two things sprang to mind:-

Wearing a utd shirt can cause irritation. No Shit Sherlock!!
It costs the manufacturers approx 10 pounds to make a shirt. There was no talk anywhere about looking at reducing the costs of the shirts only crying on how much it costs to design a shirt.
I understand that all companies need to make a profit but the mark up on official shirts is ridiculous and is pushing all to the copy shirt market.

Counterfeit football kits: What's the real cost?

Fake football kits can be as much as £70 cheaper than the real deal, but experts have raised concerns they could be harmful.

It’s like lots of things these days, they’ve created a market for something that isn’t a necessity and lots of businesses have sprung up that rely on that market, creating their own individual necessities. For nearly a century of football there were no replica shirts. Everything around it is false.

A couple of years ago I was looking at baseball caps on DHgate as I wanted something a bit different
One caught my eye and was branded “Balenciaga” who I’d never heard of which made it more appealing. But before buying I put a search in for the name and up pops this luxury fashion house and I immediately thought “chav brand” so I didn’t buy

A couple of months later, there’s a report from a really rough estate in Cardiff where a lad has been killed on an e-scooter
All the blokes and women were wearing Balenciaga and Canada Goose coats

And speaking of Turkey
I went to Side a few years ago and as always we had a day in the town shopping
On the walk down, the further away from the hotel you got, the more Calvin Clien undies you got for your money
They started a three for ten Euros and by the time you in were in the town, it was six
I bought three pairs of swim shorts, Boss and Polo, including a bright orange pair, but never wore them there as every bloke on the beach was

Funny article that, health warnings bwaaah, poorly made? Odd one maybe so, I get loads as presents, not had a bad one really, im about a grand up, or should i say those who bought it are. Would I care if I got a poor one on that basis? No.
Its really difficult to know if they are harmful but they could be. So no evidence. Odd that.
Counterfeiters are only bothered about making money, yeah large sports manufacturing companies do it for the love of the shirt.
My favourite delusional bit was the steak analogy, you wouldn't have a steak for £4 from a supermarket over a £20 one in a restaurant, you're paying for the experience, haha well people do buy a steak because restaurants are expensive you idiot but more importantly what fucking experience are you paying £70 extra on a shirt for?
You're ordering a shirt online in both cases. Talking shite.

Perhaps the greedy c*nts could stop producing 3-4 kits every season

How dare consumers make a choice about who rips them off :)

I had to laugh when the report made out that it was offensive to rip off the vulnerable (The £15 sellers that is) while the £70 (And the fucking rest) get a free ride.

Did they run out of men to hold up the shirts in the article or don't men do good compo faces?

That’s why I never got the watch thing… If you can afford a nice watch then go for it but don’t expect us all to believe that A. you got the chance to buy a Daytona and B. You’d wear it on the piss in Mary D’s

BTW, I’ve got my name down at the AD in Chester for a Daytona but don’t think I’ll ever get the call..

Might be worth popping in here for a chat...

I believe the Emperor wore fake clothing.

Interesting video but what he's saying isn't entirely accurate. All the dealers have models available but it's very rare they will have one that most people want, ie the stainless sports models or the the popular dial OP's and datejusts. They'll all have bi metallic and precious metal models. It's about playing the game with them, I waited 12 mths for a no date Sub and I know others that are still waiting 3 years on. Contacted my AD last mth enquiring about an Explorer2, expecting to be told I'd have to wait at least 12 mths. Emailed me back saying they had one available to purchase, collected it 2 days later. Right place at the right time. Daytona is a long wait, they only get about 3 a year into each AD of the stainless ones.

It’s working class necessity. Put the right brand on anything and they’ll queue round the block.

People are absolute sheep.

Never understood it. When the “designer brand” fad started with Calvin Kline and Tommy Hilfiger et al I opted out. Mostly it was no better than a decent high street make but 2 or 3 times more expensive. I’ve bought some expensive brands of course in the sales at outlet places (used to be good years ago). Vinted for us in our house nowadays. My motto is “If Tommy Hilfiger wants me to wear his clothes with a fucking great logo on it, HE can pay ME. :-)

I used to like brands during my teens and 20s.

I'm in my late 30s and have lost interest. I like and wear Arne gear and have bought a few bits from M&S as their stuff has stepped up since they brought somebody in from Reiss. The M&S gear is great quality and value.

We have had 9 since January and theres already 'leaks' for next year

 

[Blue Since 76]

Been trying to find somewhere that does fake Primark gear but looks like I'll have to keep paying full price...

I get buying something that's top quality and would last, but not buying something just for the badge, whether real or fake (football shirts aside). Those without money and those with a bit walk about like a billboard whereas those with serious amounts of money don't wear any badges. Human signalling is a strange thing

 

[BlueMoonday]

Get on the Arne Black Friday sale all.

Tbf Salah does not need much for him to go down.

Does anyone under 30 wear it?

Generally speaking people tend to stick with their favourite brands. So whatever brands were seen as cutting edge and fashionable in the 90s are now mainly worn by middle aged men.

Whatever brands the young trendy kids are wearing today, they’ll still probably be wearing in 2055 and they’ll be the same conversation.
