Hi, where can i purchase the lowest priced FP? From the boutique in KLCC or Tangs? Thanks

British clothing company Fred Perry Holdings Ltd. filed suit against American clothing retailer Lands’ End in federal court in Illinois on August 18, 2011 claiming Lands’ End violated a settlement agreement between the parties by using Fred Perry’s laurel wreath design on apparel products. See Fred Perry Holdings Ltd. v. Lands’ End Inc., et al., Case No. 11-cv-05659 (USDC, Northern District of Illinois). Lands' End is owned by Sears Holding Corporation, which is also named as a defendant in the suit. Fred Perry, named after the renowned Wimbledon champion of the 1930s, launched as a clothing brand in the United States in 1952. It offers apparel, footwear, and accessories and began using its famous laurel wreath design (featured below) on sports and casual clothing in the United States more than 40 years ago.



Fred Perry’s complaint alleges that in 1998, Lands’ End distributed a catalog featuring sport shirts bearing the following wreath design which Fred Perry believed imitated its famous design mark.



After discovering this use of the laurel wreath design by Lands’ End, Fred Perry objected, and the parties executed an agreement in which Lands’ End agreed not to use the wreath design on clothing products, or in advertising, catalogs, or retail stores. In the current complaint, Fred Perry alleges that Lands’ End, through its subsidiary in Japan, violated the 1998 agreement by beginning to sell clothing products bearing a logo which includes a laurel wreath design in 2010. An example of the use at issue is shown below.



Fred Perry is seeking an injunction enjoining Lands’ End from advertising, distributing, or selling clothing and other merchandise featuring the laurel wreath, as well as damages.

The breach of contract action filed by Fred Perry comes just three months after Lands’ End was hit with another lawsuit by sportswear giant Adidas America Inc. On May 5, 2011, Adidas filed suit against the retailer in federal court in Oregon for infringement of its famous three-stripe trademark. See Adidas America Inc. et al. v. Lands’ End Inc., Case No. 3:11-cv-00552 (USDC, District of Oregon). In that lawsuit, Adidas alleges that Lands’ End’s sale of its “Boys’ Classic Skate” shoes and “Men’s Slip-On Trekker” shoes feature designs that are confusingly similar to its three-stripe mark and are therefore likely to cause consumer confusion.

Dearest all,

Let us look at the positive side, the user damiontay, is bringing in cheap and affordable apparels for the benefit of everyone. However, I would like to bring his attention and for all aspiring sellers of the potential risks ahead.

Despite assurance from supplier that the apparels are authentic & from credible source, the resller should be hold liable for all problems arised since they're the one who imported these stocks. It does not work by pushing the blame/fault to supplier when something goes wrong (such as the hoo-haa created by Mistic, junkieboy / Brannington and juno-EE)

Regarding authenticity verifications at Fred Perry boutiques, do consider the following: How qualified are the staff (Few full-timers and mostly part-timers)? Do note that there're good replicas in the market though still not 1:1 compared to the authentic ones. PM me for detailed analysis of the fakes.

I reckon everyone including myself love to buy good stuff at good price however do beware of where you are getting from and who you are dealing with. My last advice to damiontay is I do not think anyone out there want to pin-point or bombard you; nothing personal. Do accept constructive feedback, deal with them in a mature manner and all this is part of the learning process.

Welcome all constructive feedback/comments.



Too harsh? Should I kept silent instead? I just can't tolerate anyone selling fakes. Alhough I am confident that his stocks are non-authentic, the door are wide open for him to clarify (Rahman could have wrongly accused him)

He did so with a 579 words reply on his blog (View his reply and my response at http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showpost...&postcount=5768)

However as of today the seller has yet to get back to a simple request by melv in his chatbox (View screen capture at http://www.photolap.com/free-photo-sharing...938untitled.GIF). Assuming he have missed out that question, I even reminded him in his thread (http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showpost...07&postcount=11).

Its simply fishy since he've the time to write the 579 words reply but could not respond to a simple request. In addition, his blog was shuted down for unknown reason.

Hai... I dunno why there's so much drama with these resellers. First of all, 20 bucks, 30 bucks also wanna make. They should find better use for their time.

Secondly, buyers also another one. Why wanna buy from these re-distributors? All that is on their mind is profit profit profit, and their zeal for profit will cause them to source for the cheapest shit which might turn out to be non authentic.

Save yourselves the hassle, and wait for sales from online stores. There are many trusted online stores with various discounts, coupons, free codes and some even ship for free.

We can compile a list for our FP community right here in Lowyat.

The ones tried and tested by me and several other members here are

Asos.com
Fredperry.com
Endclothing
Revolveclothing
Browns
Rakuten

^ just a few from the top of my head, but i'm sure there are more
