Didn't know where to put this but figured there would be some expert shoppers on this board. Has anyone ever bought from this website? They've got some good reviews but obviously not having heard of them & some of their stuff being discounted I was a bit worried, but went & ordered a Franklin & Marshall jumper from there any way. The neck label & tag looks good but I'm not sure about the print on it, I don't think it's as thick as I imagined it to be if that makes sense?
The wash label has the Italian address on one side but made in Turkey on the other side. Wikipedia tells me that 90% of f&m is made in Italy. Anyone got any experience with either the website or f&m stuff & can tell me whether it's a fake?

Never bought through the website but got some through a private sales site once and we ended up sending it all back as the prints looked like they wouldn't survive the first wash, didn't really have that 'professional' finish but more like one of those in-store novelty shop presses iykwim. Granted this was years ago but it sounds like the quality hasn't improved much since.

My guess is the t-shirts are made in Turkey and the printing process is done in Italy, hence the confusing labels?

To be fair I did buy him a real one before, he worse it for about half an hour and the print on it smudged Confused no washing, no heat on it, nothing! & I know it was real I bought it from the f&m website & tracked it coming from Italy. I sent it straight back & got a refund, put it down to just being a dodgy batch or something. So maybe it's just their quality isn't amazing full stop then. If that's the case then no harm done as I got it in the sale so didn't pay a fortune & as long as its real then can't complain
