Fake, counterfeit clothing

[woolywoolenwools]

I know this has probably been asked hundreds of times and I did do a search for my answer but found a lot of chit chat, differences of opinions and nothing that really answered my question.  Unless I'm a total imbecile and just don't understand anything when I read it, I can't understand whether I can or cannot. ?:|  -- anyway...

A friend went to England a few months back and gifted us some t-shirts with famous logo pictures on them.  The tag also states the famous logo name, but underneath it has a small tag that says 'Made in XXX' (an Asian country).  Unfortunately we didn't have the heart to tell our friend that 1) the colours weren't very nice and 2) they are too big for us.  But Bless his little cotton socks anyway....:-x

Not that it makes it right or it would change the fact..... but they look very well made.

All I'd like to know is, are they classified as complete fakes and / or counterfeits, and does that indeed mean I cannot sell them on eBay? 

Thanks for you time.

I'm too frightened to now!

If I were to list them, hypothetically speaking...

I am guessing that one wouldn't mention it in the subject line nor within the actual listing, but a photo of the tag with where it's made would be ok?  Just thinking out loud.  😕

Thailand=dead set fake/counterfeit/non licenced.

Really?  Well that settles it then. 

We can use them as bedtime nighties.... LOL

Thailand also = Generous sizes and good quality, but yeah, they do make alot of copy's there

Perhaps not always, kiwi, but would you take the chance?:|  Having the added information that the items are made in Thailand, I definitely wouldn't list them.

I never knew that, so pretty much any well known brand name clothing made in Thailand is fake?

I'd be willing to bet my last fake purchase on it X-(

Thailand & Bali-6 of one & half a dozen of the other.Non licenced products 100%

are you that desperate for a few bucks that you would jeopardize your eBay Sellers a/c for it?

It's amazing what you learn on these boards.

I always assumed China = Fake and/or cheap and inferior.

I just checked the tags of some Autograph clothing I have listed, and it's made in China too! Well there you go!
