Just got this Fred Perry from someone on eBay; real or fake?

Hi everyone and greetings from Brooklyn, NY.
I recently purchased this Fred Perry M1200 from eBay because
the tags in the photos looked authentic. Up close, I'm not so sure.
Thoughts?

Hi Greg,

I believe the polo pictured in your links are fake. FP was never manufactured in Hongkong. Usually they would state just China and never specificially which country. Further to add, even if its from the retro collection, the collar hang tag does not coincide with those yesteryears version either.

you could wait for our resident fake spotter guru Rahman or other pros to comment as well. Hope ya dint fork out alot for it thou.

Cheers!

Yeah, I've never seen one with 'Made in Hong Kong' on the tags; hence my suspicion.
The stitching is pretty good but the material seems a bit bit thinner than normal.

I did 'only' pay about $25 USD for it, and it looks good though.

Liquor stains on clothes and fabric can be a tough situation but you can get this stain out using these cleaning tips. Be sure to double-check the fabric instructions before starting.

Wash your clothes or fabric in the hottest water possible for the particular fabric. Just use water, no bleach or soap. Soak the stain for about half an hour with a pre-soak/pre-stain treating stick or liquid.

Rinse with hot water and let the item air-dry. If you still have a stain, treat the fabric with bleach or colorfast bleach if the fabric instructions allow you. Soak for half an hour and then rinse and let air-dry.

If you find that you still have a stain left in the fabric, try rinsing the fabric with carbonated soda. The carbonation will work the liquor free of the fabric. Use a quart of carbonated soda with a quart of water and soak the item overnight if possible. Rinse and air dry.

When you launder the fabric again and a brown stain appears, this is the sugar from the liquor still in the fabric. Once the sugar from the liquor melts on to the fabric and turns brown you will not be able to get that stain out.
