Dear all bros,

My 1st virgin FR here in HWZ. Thanks to all the pros for the sharing Fred Perry info. Just wan to share wif u guys my experience with an Ebay seller.

Name: manclala
Origin: Hongkong
Brand: Fred Perry
Size: Medium
Color: Black
Condition: 10/10
Authenticity: He claimed 100% authentic. I think otherwise.

Overall damage: Below S$50 for registered airmail to Singapore
Conclusion: Beware of fake Fred Perry. Some are almost 1:1 replica.

Tell-tale signs of a fake/bootleg/inferior/counterfeit Fred Perry based on the pictures:

1) Hang-tag [Those who owns MIJ will surely understand why]
2) Buttons [Black buttons? OMG! See below authentic piece photo]

Below an authentic piece for your comparison.

Thanks InPhinity for parting your S$50+/-! Its an invaluable lesson.

Oh yeah just realized the buttons =.= - its a f1102 which is MIJ
And does the printing on the label tag seems abit faded too?

Yeah but its quite shocking to see that they are able to fake the laurel logo so well now. Impossible to distinguish em at first sight. Last time at least those wear fake de can see their logo very obviously guai lan one.

Exactly. As FFF Rahman said not once but a number of times before, the replicas now are much better and you may not realise it until close examinations. So for whoever buying off unauthorized source, beware!

Bro InPhinity. i happened to own the F1102 MIJ in the same colour as the 1 chiu posted and here are some peekutres for comparison to betta illustrate how good those replicas are getting.

Left Side ish the ebay seller's / Right side ish mine bought from Isetan Scotts. LOLx

Over here, the replicas are trying too hard to be "authentic" when it shouldnt have. LOLx the FP buttons here ish the same dominant colour as the polo, this only applies to all except majority of MIJ polos.

Anyway the peekutres are just to educate everyone on how good it those replicas has gotten, if any betta, they might as well make a exact 1:1 piece and sell like authentic pricing. hahaha

Cheers!

^ the pics not mine haha. Posted by Rahman

Anyway i hope this info does not result in improvements of replicas >.< haha

oops haha my bad bro, see wrongly LOLx.

anyway i doubt they will go to that extend to produce a 1:1 xact piece, coze theres too much effort involved.

and that translates to cost to them, they main gist is to sell replicas that are 70-80% similar at a fraction of the real piece and at the same time to maximise their own profitable gains. if they were to match 1:1 then tis brings up their cost too.

the logo is quite a give away that its fake.

sad to say, i think fp ish now heading in that direction liaoz...

today i went to town saw a few peeps wearing FP, i can say dat out of those i've seen, a handful of them were wearing fakes either coze the laurel looks weird or coze of the buttons tat doesnt match up.

seems to me like im going to be on the boycotting FP train soon.
