Considerable fake cycling wear circulating and thought I'd provide some tell tale signs.
1) Inner "tag" behind the neck is printed with generic look. Print is blurry
2) Print quality is poor. Patterns, font, and fine print are overall blurred
3) Stitching is poor quality and the threads will easily come apart! Fakes one all have similar sew pattern.
4) Shorts: the chamois (padding), some common ones have a lot of labeling and diagram
5) "Cool Max" generic tag
6) Rapha and Pro Teams are common

Also, Rapa usually puts a story or quote inside their gear... fake ones usually lack this.

Happy I came across this, snagged a jersey from Goodwill and thought it was a steal buy turns out it's fake lol

@rasberrykitty Oh yeah, it's quite commonly mass produced. And the quality is horrible - don't expect it to last. 😩

I have to disagree about quality . I’ve ordered a few from China . Quality was very good especially when you consider the price . But they should be described correctly here . Most of the brand name cycling and exercise clothing sold on here has been abused . They should always be washed in cold water and line dryed. I’m sure that is not the case for most stuff sold used

I saw a really good fake but the giveaway was a small sewn in "Made in China" tag that was offset. The fit and finish really tell on the knock offs.
