It always makes me wonder why these fake companies go to these lengths to produce fake garments, they’ve clearly got the machinery and know how to produce the items, they should invest in better quality materials etc, create a legitimate business, then start making clothes under their own label and that’s it, a 100% legal company and they’d sell the items for a lot more than their fakes, it just seems to me such a lot of hassle to go through to make a fake, make a real instead 🤷🏻♂️
Because it takes a long time and a lot of money to build and market a brand as well as earning a good reputation. These guys make a quick buck off of the established name. No hard work or huge financial outlay necessary. Unfortunately there's always going to be a market for this stuff because there's a lot of people who value image over actual quality.
I recommend reading the book "Gomorrha" or Roberto Saviano. That fake stuff is mostly result of gray business and globalization. e.g.: a Textile company catches an order - "creating 10000 jackets" - well, the company produces that 10000 jackets.... and produces another 40.000 jackets for an alternative destribution process...
Another difference in this video was the Columbia lettering on upper left chest. Maybe coincidence - lettering was Printed on the fakes vs embroidered on the authentic. Is this a difference, or perhaps Printed lettering is used for Columbia Outlet products?
I have 2 Columbia jackets the same model. Older use YKK, which not have any issue during the years of usage. But a new one have Ideal, which stuck and bad work from the first usage.
Hey bro i bought this jacket that’s water resistant and it has the ykk engravings but something that i noticed is that it doesn’t have and chest pocket and im lowkey like damn i bought a replica or something its called bowen lake softshell if you can help me thanks
sir can we considered an original columbia if the main logo is on the left side? or sir do you have any social media accounts so that i will sent the sample photos. thank you
Columbia originalmente sus logos o etiquetas eran al lado derecho por mucho tiempo, posteriormente lo hicieron al lado izquierdo ( Corazón) si es un modelo antiguo posiblemente sea asi
There might be better fakes on the market where your "suggestion" might not be enough. Therefore we recommend to check all the elements numbered in the video.
@@barratansey152 Where I am from it is seen as stuff you get at Ross or Marshalls. Something equivalent to Nautica or other like brands. Honestly, probably more to do with it not being hype rather than a reflection of quality.
I would perfer to buy directly from Columbia manufacturers than Amazon do to fakes / counterfeits. Thanks for the video.
