Okay ...well its old news that fakes have been exchanged into retail stores while the reals get exchanged out... but today I came across my first fake in a retail store: Nordstrom Rack.
There weren't but like 3 sevens in the whole store...but the sales associate handed them to me bc I had asked her if she had seen any.... well I immed. put them in my cart w/out even looking at them. ...I got into the dressing room (bc they happened to be my size!) and was appalled at the way the "for all mankind" red label on the pocket looked. It was huge!! I knew it didn't look right... so then I started looking over the entire jean. The quality (feel) was so bad, they looked as if they'd been hemmed (or they were just really really short), the inside pocket looked awful...but MOST OF ALL, the style and cut numbers were STITCHED! 701377. It was all so awful....
I didn't know whether I should say something to a SA but decided to. I knew it wouldn't do much but I thought Id just let them know...bc I sure as HELL wouldn't pay $70 for a pair of fakes (thats what the price was) and it kind of made me wonder if thats why they were at NR in the first place... So I found a woman and said "look, this is going to sound weird, but these are fakes" ...I showed her the dif. b/w the real and fakes ones and her response was this "Oh okay...well yeah I think this probably happens a lot with a lot of stuff and there's really no way to control it so its going to continue happening...Ill bring it to my managers attention but my guess is that its going to end up back on the floor... you cant really tell when they're on, can you (unless compared to an authentic pair side-by-side)?!" ...I said Im sorry but I wouldn't pay $10 for those...and gave them to her.

I just know some person is gonna get ripped off buying those. You did the right thing by trying to bring their attention to it tho! What style was it that was fake?
I don't have that kind of time!!
