I've also purchased a fake Rapha Brevet Jersey (from DHgate). The pictures on DHgate were lifted from the Rapha website but what turned up (after a month) was just a really nasty polyester jersey printed to look kind of like the original. No sportwool, no chest pocket, no zipped valuables pocket, the stripe across the chest is just printed white rather than being a reflective strip sewn in, etc.
It was only £15 so I guess I can't complain too much but there's no way it was made in the same factory as Rapha and it looks so obviously fake the only place I could get away with wearing it would be a fancy dress party.
To be honest there's plenty of decent kit for fair prices that you can get delivered in a couple of days from someone like Wiggle so I wouldn't bother with Aliexpress/DHgate knockoffs.
