I'm just wondering if you can get all of that (minus the after sales ) from aliexpress.
You can't. It's very easy to make a very, very cheap jersey. It quickly costs more to make something better.
If they can do carbon well then why not clothes?
You mean if they can sell direct and cut corners? Sure.
Particularly if it's the same factories as the real stuff.
Even if this is the case it doesn't mean much. Do they share a pattern, spec and QC?

If I can pay £100 less for something that performs the same, with an identical design to assos/castelli/rapha whatever then I reckon it's worth a punt. As people are saying, the sport wool will be harder, but the assos et al offerings should be copyable.
I wouldn't trust a jacket (technical fabrics) or bibs (chamoise) but a jersey isn't that much fabric, surely...
