My son has been wearing Tripp brand pants from Tripp NYC for over 15 years and there is a huge difference in quality with these. It's like any other knockoff where the stitching is not straight, the eyelets aren't properly centred and all the proper tags and logos are missing. I purchased these for my daughter because she wanted to have the same as her big brother but they are definitely inferior to the genuine ones. Anyway I've learned my lesson now to never buy name brand items on eBay but I still think these knockoffs should be taken off the site because others will be tricked into thinking they're genuine as I was.
