Aren't all of these things replicas? They're repro ww2 stuff etc whether it has a Buzz Rickson tag in the neck or not.
If someone had posted a LV handbag then yeah you're buying a fake/rep but these designs dont have copyright and I can't see a disclosure about where the more expensive branded versions are made. I don't think they're made in US/EU @JB might know better
Tenderloin

Yeah if the quality is there and people are happy with buying it from a relatively unaccountable source then go for it. It’s not like western brands all have amazing transparency so it’s impossible to say one is better/worse than the other.
For me these direct from factory brands are basically fakes / replicas, not saying that’s inherently bad but I don’t think they deserve much reputation beyond that.
