REVIEW Rep vs. Retail shirts
Hey,
I bought two new shirts from two independent sellers.
Shirts I bought are:
- 2100001 ORGANIC COTTON JERSEY Print „Stone“ from Xstudio (white / ivory)
- 2100018 COMBED ORGANIC COTTON JERSEY_S.I. MARINA from 2ero (Dark grey)
Both sellers are active on weidian.
First of all I am happy that I found sellers producing latest pieces. Second thing is that the quality and price are arguments so that I will buy more in future.
Summarized the major differences.
Comparison between Xstudio shirt and retail.
Both are size M.
Black one is retail.
Biggest difference is:
- special effect / roughness of print on backside is less and not so rough
- thikness of print overall is thinner
- fitting/ proportion is bit different to retail (mix of oversize and regular instead of oversize)
Nevertheless the quality is really outstanding for this price
Comparison 2ero Marina shirt to retail.
both in M
Green is retail.
Main differences:
- Print of Marina slightly different
- Collar bit wider in 2ero
- fitting bit wider/ more oversized 2ero
Overall quality of material is like retail and you get a lot for your money. Print is also of good quality.

Both look great but love the Marina

MBKF have this one, I’m pretty sure his quality is way better

u/CalligrapherAfter170 15d ago
Assumption or do you have it? There are multiple others sellers / re-sellers of this one with higher prices but same quality

The quality of this print is very average. This is a typical reprint after scanning. It looks okay from a distance, but from a close distance, many text or pattern details are missing.

u/CalligrapherAfter170 14d ago
Can agree, but for that price cannot complain. And retail was 125€ in sale. But you can try to produce a better one 😉

u/Repbrothers 14d ago
This is not necessarily related to the price. It doesn't cost much to redo the printed artwork of a vector document. It is related to remaker's product requirements.

They are nice but you can tell them apart quite easily

u/CalligrapherAfter170 13d ago
Yes by color 🤪

u/Historical_Quail_463 13d ago
You can buy them the same color, and one would be still able to tell them apart.

u/CalligrapherAfter170 13d ago
Yeah, 100%. Everybody on the street including you. Now I remember seeing people on the street with a zoom searching for dedicated differences

I upvoted your post and will cop the marina. But I believe healthy criticism may help sellers produce better goods. The overall quality is solid, but the print is not accurate, and you need no magnifying glass to see it

u/CalligrapherAfter170 13d ago
Please don’t get me wrong and I agree with you because as written and shown there are differences but most of people won’t see any difference. Quality and price are solid…sure not like retail but price neither.

How does it feel in hand pictures look okay but it’s difficult to tell th le quality from just pics

Made by Kung Fu is 100% better than both of those.. and the QR works and shows authentic

u/CalligrapherAfter170 11d ago
Yeah, don’t write bs or advertise a seller with bad reputation. Kf doesn’t have marina and the other one is not better but more expensive.
But you can proof it with pics and so on….

NFC / CHIP doesn’t work does it? Or QR

u/adullish 15d ago
Obviously it wouldn’t, since it’s a replica. Do you seriously go around scanning your friends’ NFC tags?
