I have some clues regarding RL Duck sweater "russian" rep

I have some clues regarding RL Duck sweater "russian" rep

The grey one is a bad rep of a cable knit and the green one is a "russian" duck rep.

Notice they have the same knitting, same materials and the inside label is the same.

Most likely they come from the same factory and I found the seller on 1688 who sells the top one for cheapest.

Bulletz contacted them on 1688 and we are waiting for the contact info of the factory.

We might even be able to find where the duck sweater is being produced in China, because there is no way in hell it is produced in Russia.

5 button(female) Mesh Knit Polo Tshirt from Kkwhiteco

Bought through Joyagoo, user id: JOY301025876

First image is the tshirt lying on the bed.

Second image is my friend wearing it. She is 177cm tall and wearing size S, but she also has another color in M.

This is her third polo from Kkwhiteco so far. She has pink one in S, blue one in M and now white in S. They wash well and are durable.

Materials are 100% cotton and logo is good as usual when it comes to Kkwhiteco.

It is a very simple piece so there is not much to get wrong. Logo positioning is a bit higher than on the retail, the same issue the mens version has, but that is really it.

Otherwise great quality and great buy for around $14.

We FINALLY have a NON-BIG AND TALL version of Ralph Lauren Cable Knit Quarter Zip Sweater from Topkitsune

We finally have a regular fit version of Ralph Lauren Cable Knit Quarter Zip.

Sizing is almost identical to retail, but there is still one "downside".

Patterns are moved one size up.

His size S has retail size M pattern, his size M has retail size L pattern, and so on.

Logos are also very good and positioned on the row, which indicates it is done according to the most recent version too.

And since it is not big and tall, it finally does not look short and wide, but has a proper fit.

It is the most expensive rep of this item we had so far, but if it is gonna fit properly for the first time, it is worth it.

Polo Bear Sweater from Repkingdom (Both colorways)

First image is the white one lying on the bed.

Second image is bear closeup.

Third Image is bear from the inside.

Fourth and fifth images are the tags.

Sixth and seventh images are me wearing it.

Eight picture is PASSED LC on RL website.

Then everything is repeated for the navy one.

Last picture is size comparison between the two. Im 183cm tall and took M, but as you can see navy one is smaller than the white one.

This is not Iconic Polo Bear Sweater but just a Polo Bear Sweater, so keep that in mind.

When these sweaters were announced I had some remarks regarding bear stitching and color and other people had some other remarks too, so RK sent me both colorways to inspect in person.

Upon arriving I saw that they look and feel pretty good. I must say that pictures cannot do them justice and I tried my best to showcase how they look like in person, but you will have to trust me that bears look even better in person.

The whole bear is made from separately colored threads and then sawn into the sweater, so it is already done much better than the other reps we had so far.

But there is still an issue with the bear, and it is the shoes. On the retail piece, it is clearly visible that the bear is wearing loafers, while on the rep it is not visible even in person, so it is not the camera doing it injustice.

Other than that, bears actually look great in person.

When it comes to sweaters themselves, they are really high quality and feel really good, but I noticed that they are not the same. That is why I took the last picture.

White one is heavier than the navy one and fits regular while the navy one fits slim. Even tho they are the same size. So keep that in mind when ordering.

Materials are 68% cotton and 32% linen for the sweater itself and 100% cotton for the bear.

Tags(bot the neck tag and the paper tag) are done really well and the sweaters also pass LC on the RL website.

This is the best rep of the bear sweater we have so far.

Ralph Lauren Custom Slim Fit Soft Cotton Polo Shirt from Top Polo

First image is the front.

Second image is of the tags.

Third image is of the logo.

Fourth image is me wearing it. Im 183cm tall and took size L.

Fifth image is of PASSED verification on RL site.

My first impression was the same as with the shorts. This can also pass as a retail.

Im not even sure we had the correct rep of this particular item so far.

Color is the same, logo is amazing, material is 100% cotton.

Colored rider is probably one of the best we have in the rep market.

Shirt is lightweight and a bit elastic. I expected it to be very seethrough, but it is not. Just a little.

Great alternative for sports like tennis if you dislike poly tshirts.

It can sound a bit expensive for $28, but given the details and the quality, price is justified.

There might be more than we know behind cheap reps like Kkwhiteco that many resellers are reselling from. Different colors on purpose for easier identification.

Navy one is a $12 batch, the only difference is a slightly different zipper pull shape.

White one is $15 batch, the only difference is font on the label inside.

Grey one is $17 Kkwhiteco that we all know.

They are all the same fantasy piece, quality looks the same, materials are listed the same, all the listings have the same colorways offered...

Differences that I noticed when I examined the full listings of all three sellers are the following:

Tags, zipper pulls and logos.

That leads me to believe that there is a factory making this plain sweater without any markings and that Kkwhiteco and others are buying them in bulk and sewing in tags, logos and adding zipper pulls.

That could mean that they are not making just this plain sweater, but also polo tshirts and other stuff and that sellers(not resellers) are just buying and adding finishing touches.

And Im talking only about cheap reps, not good and correct ones.

Why does RL Flag Sweater rep lack a right edge on the flag? You guessed it - BIG AND TALL AGAIN...

First image is regular fit retail.

It has a jagged edge only on the right, but not as nearly as the outlet version.

Second image is big and tall retail version.

There is no jagged edge, it just looks sawn in.

What is with the Chinese and using big and tall versions as a reference all the time...

Brunello Cucinelli Suede Sandals from Repsun

I was sent these as a review sample by Repsun.

He wanted a real and honest review, whether it is positive or negative.

I have provided several pictures showing what comes in the package and details on the sandals up close.

Retail costs around 750e and there are several colorways. This colorway is not the newest one, it seems it is not currently offered and some new ones replaced it.

These cost around $35 and are considered a budget option, but are actually very decent.

Suede is soft and elastic with sealed edges, just like on the retail. But, because of the sealed edges I cannot see what kind of suede is used or if it is actual suede at all. But it seems it is.

Sole is sturdy, but also a bit elastic and the inner sole is soft and comfortable.

All the writings seem to be correct too.

However, not every detail is 100% correct. Buckles are not the color they are supposed to be for this colorway. Most of the colorways have these exact buckles, but this colorway should have softer gold buckles with lighter letters.

Other than that, I would say they are pretty good.

Fast fashion brands like Zara and Reserved often offer dupes of this model and while they are not bad, they are very heavy. At least the Zara ones that I have. And they also cost more.

This one is sturdy but lightweight, like the sandals should actually be.

QC from the seller: https://repsunofficial.x.yupoo.com/albums/249729423?uid=1&isSubCate=false&referrercate=4739055

Communication with the seller was good. I got the QC on 12th of August, got tracking number a week later and received the sandals today on 3rd of September.

For $35 I recommend the sandals.

There have been so many baiting and switching lately and Im wondering why are you people still insisting on direct shipping, yupoo and other stuff instead of using agents?

I cant help but notice that when I post some item or make a list, there is always someone asking:

"Does the seller have a yupoo?" or "Does the seller have wa/wc?"

And I cant but wonder why...

Making an account on any agent platform takes literally 5 minutes and it gives you a Chinese person directly in China inspecting whatever you order from the sellers. You can reject, return, refund, etc...

Which you cannot do when you order directly from the seller.

Im just now talking with a person who sent money as "friends and family" to a seller which means no refund is possible...

And there have been so many baits and switches lately, maybe more than ever.

And it seems that all the shoe sellers are doing that. Maybe it is not even their doing, but their sources are doing it and sellers are just acting dumb.

Never and I repeat never send money as "friends and family" even if it means seller will not sell you something if you dont.

Always use an agent, always.

XXL998 update

Deleted the post just to avoid confusion, but can always bring it back up.

Some people have stated that they have ordered from this seller before and they had good experience.

I checked QC for several items and what I saw was not the same stuff their yupoo listing sent me to on weidian.

MK batch listing sent me to page also selling AP batch and for AP batch, QC had shoes with 2 different fonts on the soles. Leather also seemed more dull on QC than on AP pictures on yupoo.

Seller contacted me on reddit again and I advised them to tidy up the listings so it is clear what is what.

I do not want to do anyone harm and if it turns out I was wrong, I will apologize, but I still have some doubts.

Hoping to see how it looks like if the seller sorts out categories and it is clear what is what and then we can see QC for the exact and specific item, not for a multi listing.

RL retail quality is not better than the reps, volume 893838

Soft cotton polo and linnen shirt. Both very thin and see through.

I dont care about what you think about sellers, but Im active here because I like and know about clothing and materials and I want to educate people.

I hate it when people doubt me just because they want to doubt something.

Im have been putting so much time and effort here for the past 2 years, just for the love of the game.

In conclusion, light colored clothing made from natural fabrics is always gonna be a bit see through and just because something is retail or branded, does not mean it defies the law of nature.

We have come so far regarding reps quality, that it is not worth it to buy retail anymore.

u/probotzor — 2 months ago

I have seen so much people complain that light colored shirts and tshirts and even quarter zips from Lizhien and Kkwhiteco are see through and blame it on quality, while in fact, that is just how light and physics work. Example below.

This is a RETAIL Tommy 1985 polo in light green color.

It is thicker than all retail RL and rep Polos.

Inside of it is a tablet with a white sticker.

You can barely see the tablet, because the color is more intensive.

But what you can see the best is the white sticker on the tablet.

Why? Because white reflects the light back illuminating the fabric on top of it.

I literally have a retail RL hoodie which is 20 times thicker than this shirt, but since it is in cream color, it is a bit see through.

If a piece of clothing is made from NATURAL materials, it is always gonna be a bit see through if the color is light enough(excluding grey).

There are literally rules on how to wear light colored clothing to minimize transparency, but the easiest one to follow is just wear grey underneath.

When it comes to pants, manufacturers can easily solve it by adding lining. And lining is usually grey or in a similar tone. But you cannot have lining on tshirts and shirts.

It is not quality, it is not material, it is not knitting technique. It is plain and simple physics.

Also, one more thing. People need to stop thinking retail items have some extraordinary quality that defies laws of nature.

THE BEST RL Rep Seller List for Summer 2026

This list is gonna be a bit different than a winter one, because links often expire and then people ask me for updated links.

First Im gonna just mention the sellers and categories, then some specific item mentions.

BEST AND TRUSTED SELLERS:

BUDGET TIER:

Kkwhiteco(cheap reps, but good quality for the price, some of the reps are fantasy pieces)

Lizhien(cheap reps, but good quality for the price)

Fashionmiss(cheap and good quality Polo Tshirts)

GOOD QUALITY:

Black Cat(has more complicated and more popular stuff than budget sellers, reps are usually very close to 1:1, most expensive in this category)

Early Tom(has more complicated and more popular stuff than budget sellers, reps are usually very close to 1:1, many items are literally the same batch as Black Cat but $2-3-4 cheaper)

HFS(has some of the stuff both BC and ET have, but often in different colors, batches are not the same and it is slightly worse than them, but also the cheapest among them)

ALMOST RETAIL(With working QR for now):

Top Polo(new seller, the most expensive out of everyone listed, but the quality is amazing so far, hoping he will release winter items and we will finally have 100% correct cable knits and stuff)

RESELLER BUT WITH SOME UNIQUE ITEMS:

Repkingdom(resells mostly from Kkwhiteco and Lizhien for more money and you should avoid those items, BUT has some unique items like Flag Sweter and Swim Trunks that are privately produced and actually good quality, so buy only those items)

RL Cotton Crewneck Short-Sleeve Sweater from Black Cat

First image is of the front.

Second image is the logo closeup.

Third image is of me wearing it. Im 183cm tall and took size L.

This is a very simple piece and there is literally nothing to mess up. Details are correct, material is 100% cotton and that is it. QR does not work.

It is soft, comfortable and lightweight, making it good for summer evenings or days that are not as hot. Fit is not that slim but also not relaxed.

If you are slim like new generations tend to be, it is gonna fit you like a bag, unless you size down. This is more of a classic fit.

I took L because I wear their short sleeve cable knit in size L and I was right.

Overall it is good, but maybe a bit expensive at $24 given it is a very simple piece.

RL Johnny Collar Ribbed Polo Shirt from HFS

First image is of the front.

Second is the logo closeup.

Third is of me wearing it. Im 183cm tall and took size L.

Compared to Early Tom's version from the previous review, this one is not as good. So for everyone wondering if they sell the same stuff, they do not.

This one is not as soft and is coarser, but it is still 100% cotton. At least on the tag, but Im not sure actually.

Fit is also a bit wider than on ET's version so sleeves appear even longer when worn.

Ribs are also narrower than on the ET's version.

Overall it is nice piece, just not a 100% correct rep and not as good as ET's.

It is also $3 cheaper at around $21. In my opinion, it is not worth saving $3, unless you want this specific color, or some other color that ET does not have.

RL Johnny Collar Ribbed Polo Shirt from Early Tom

First image is of the front.

Second image is the logo closeup.

Third image is of me wearing it. Im 183cm tall and took size L.

This is a simple piece so there is not much to get wrong with the details. It even has a small button at the top of the collar like the retail does. Details are also correct. QR does not work.

Material is 100% cotton and it is not heavyweight, so it is also good for summer evenings. It is soft and comfortable.

Keep in mind that the sleeves are a bit long, but that is how this model is. They are also very stretchy so if you have big arms, you will be completely fine.

I took L because I also wear L of their short sleeve cable knit polo and I was right about the sizing.

For around $24 it is a very good rep.

5.75-Inch Traveler Classic Swim Trunk from RK

First image is of the front.

Second is of the back.

Third is of me wearing it. I took size M. Im 183cm tall and have strong legs.

Fourth is the logo closeup.

Item name is the same for all the swimwear so it can be confusing.

Details are spot on, labels are good, but QR does not work.

This model is a bit thicker than the last one I reviewed and in my opinion can be used as a regular shorts too, not just for swimming.

In the pictures from RKs listing and on the RL site it looks very large, but it is actually not, it is the standard size, their models are just very skinny and short it seems.

It looks and feels the same as retail. Logo is also good.

It is 68% cotton, 27% poly and 5% elastine so it is gonna dry slower even tho it has better materials that most of the shorts, but that is why it can be used as a regular shorts too.
