I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend because he wanted one like mine. It arrived and I knew it looked a little different, but I thought nothing of it. The closer I examined it AFTER giving it to him, I realized it was fake. I'm so pissed. Authentic Adidas sweatshirts like this one have aglets attached to the ties at the neck as shown in the photo. The hoodie I received did NOT have aiguillettes like mine, just frayed ends with a flat lace cord. My cord is round and done. Also, the print on it seems to be a lot less quality than on my real adidas sweatshirt, with imperfections, and overall it's less thick. I am so unhappy and feel so guilty that I bought him a fake instead of a real one.
