Hi everyone, I’ve been following your posts and I’m particularly intrigued by those of you who show comparisons between an original jersey and a replica—especially the ones for the upcoming World Cup. The replica looks almost identical to the original to the eye of someone who isn’t very experienced with jerseys, and perhaps even to an expert unless they closely examine the labels and the fabric.
I’m wondering how this level of quality is possible. How can replicas be so faithful to the originals? Is it possible that replica sellers rely on the same factories or production facilities that also manufacture the originals? After all, the biggest brands produce in Asian countries, not in Europe or the US.
Is anyone able to answer this question with real insight?
Thanks!
