    Something to share....

    Last November 1 this year I went to Bagacay Cemetery to visit a friend, on my way to the cemetery I met a group of guys who sells cheap Adidas and Nike T-shirts... at first I thought the shirts was just an imitation of the original items. If you look at it, the shirts had a fine Jersey cloth and a Class A finished stitching and the designs were really great... I wndered if it is really an imitation or is it really the opposite of it but then I thought who would know if its an Imitation, No one RIGHT? so then and there I bought 3 Adidas T-shirts and 2 Nike's... (To make the story short)... when I got home I opened it and tried it on... All the shirts fit just right but then I noticed something, it has XS for LARGE size and some are XL for Medium sized... Now, the question is, did I really hit the Jackpot or I bought FAKE items with bad sizing???

    By the way it costs 400.00 per shirt. Here in CEBU with the same designs it cost 950.00 up the least... and they say its much cheaper here in cebu...

    I think you hit the jackpot

    Asian fakes always the wrong size when you buy them. Everytime they are undersized. I think just maybe you got something that went out the back door. So you made out.:cool:

    Fake fakes

    Its really hard to tell if its fake or not, Is there any way to know which is which?
    Anyway, to those people who reproduce those Items, they really did a fine job.
    I mean, its such a waste of talent...

    It's difficult to say. My family runs a garments company and we made original stuff for Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger etc. When we make clothes for them, we would only ship what's in the contract. So if there are excesses (stock lot), we sell them wholesale (at a cheap price) because most of the time we don't have additional tags or if we do it's not for the right size.
