Default help me i dunno if this is real abercrombie or not

hi i just bought an abercrombie hoodie and polo shirt and im not sure it is authentic

this is the link to the hoodie
2009%Abercrombie & Fitch MENS HOODIE BEST ON EBAY Sz S on eBay, also, Men's Clothing, Clothes, Shoes Accessories (end time 10-May-09 19:45:00 BST)

the pictures are accurate..i am concerned because

1. i had a look at all his items and he has multiples of abercrombie stuff and most(not all ) XXX
2. when i got the garment there was alot of loose bits of material coming off from the pockets (not anymore)
3.it says made in china (although i think abercrombie is made in china)
4. it looks very real but i heard fakes these days are very real
5.on one side of the garment it looks perfect but the other theres threads loose although it kinda looks like the destoryed effect abercrombie has

why i dont think its fake
1. when i wear it, it feels tight and very comfy
2. the zip and string hol says abercrombie and fitch
3. the zip is on the right hand side
4. it looks pretty good

help me please

also there is this polo

ABERCROMBIE & AND FITCH A&F MENS POLO T SHIRT SIZE M on eBay, also, Men's Clothing, Clothes, Shoes Accessories (end time 30-Mar-09 20:15:17 BST)

the white dots are apparantly vintage stuff ( i searched on google and it seems its accurate)
the loose threads on the collar worry me..
the a and f logo doesnt look right but it may have worn off in wash etc it was used.


although the washing label looks legit...(some ralph lauren fakes look real but has obvious fake washing tags)
there are also spare buttons and the buttons say abercrombie and fitch

please help me

I can't say whether any of the clothes are fake because I don't know enough about the brands, but one thing I do know is that however good fakes seem to be getting there always seems to be poor stitching and finishing generally across the garment. There shouldnt be a mass of loose threads on any well made garment and more often than not this will be indicative of a fake item. Fakers think because the loose threads are inside nobody will notice so long as everything outside looks accurate. Remember quality clothing costs more because of the attention to detail spend not only on the outside but also in the inside too. Even high street mainstream stores ( Gap, Next, Topshop, etc.,) dont have loose poor stitching on their own brand name gear either and thats pretty cheap compared to designer brands.

there arent a mass amount of losse threads only a few and on the hoodie it adds to the destroyed look so im not sure...the hoodie is really comfy and tight though.

ive never owned any other abercrombie and the stores are far away so i have nothing to compare it to

always be careful with ebay merchants. they usually take photos of real garments and then send fakes and make up their own feedback. ebay is a big cyber-fence. stay away and look for authorised r/etailers so you can be sure the garment is genuine.
