There are a lot of fake suits of poor quality coming out of Asia. China Thailand and others don't honor copyright laws they are copying western brands including the labels and logos. If they have a size compensation it is fake. Japan is the exception and has licensed manufacturers making brands like Speedo and Arena. Basically if it comes out of China or Thailand it is very probably a fake. I ended up with a fake Aussiebum and the quality of material and construction were inferior and it didn't fit. My "deal" ended up in the trash. If you are shopping out of the orient - especially EBay- it is buyer beware.
Another trick they use is to use a picture of the name brand and sell you a poor copy that is nothing like the suit pictured.
Legitimate companies are spending millions trying to stay on the problem but are having a losing battle when governments won't help. Personally, I won't buy anything out of the orient unless I am there in person.
