even if there is watermark but its still need to check carefully coz grade AAA also now have watermark inside the wash label. there is something else beside the wash label that will prove its authentic. like font on the wash label, coding at the collar tag, etc smile.gif

Hi..

Last weekend, while steam ironing my polos.. realized that the quality of FP is deteriorating. It was a breeze to steam iron the RL/BS/Hackett polos but FP was a hassle. And the material is really rough compared to the others.

Am i the only one experiencing this?

Anyways, these are the normal m3600 not MIJ/MIE and purchased via a trusted seller here in LYN with the laurel watermark and all..

Any thoughts?

*not suggesting that they are fakes but trying to comprehend the situation better  yawn.gif

Asked this in a different thread. Any thoughts?

If the fake ones have the laurel watermark.. online purchasing isn't safe anymore.

You can't depends on one aspect to conclude its authenticity, there are other factors as well such as the label, laurel, craftsmanship etc.

I agree. The point I'm trying to make here is.. we now buy via LYN aka online. We can only determine the craftsmanship only when we receive them, meaning post purchase, no? Getting a refund will be a long drama that I would like to avoid.

Indeed there're fake FP with laurel watermark inside the wash label circulating the market as early as late 2012.

2012? Which means, there could be a high possibility that the FP's we've been buying online are fake, as we've been relying too much on the watermark. Damn!

@attacusatlas - agree with you. seen this FAKE with laurel logo on washing tag probably a year a go. but didn't inspect/compare them with oris.

one thing that will always give the fakes away is the material. it is thin and rough. and after washing, it is hard to steam iron to get the crisp look. but by the time we get to this stage, we would have purchased/wear/wash it. too late for a refund.. or the hassle of getting one.

so, if it is too good to be true, it is.

yea.. wanted to purchase some for Raya but with our RM being this low.. i feel the difference i very minimal..

example - a S/L shirt, tshirt & cap plus shipping ~RM450.. i would think here in MY, it would probably cost ~RM550

so, i'll pass..
