What's up with these suits I bought on ebay

[Torchwatch]

In a garment factory tags are added after a product has passed quality control and is ready for packaging and despatch.

Tags are removed by retailers and customers for various reasons.

Speedo use a factory in Thailand for producing swim briefs for the European and other markets. Products not available in Europe could be made there.

A non tagged item in Thailand may have been made in the Speedo factory but may not have passed the final Quality Control test. Maybe we are talking seconds.
