This is not true, they are working hard at not getting caught but they really encourage replication and the quality is getting very good on a lot of stuff.

China is working hard to improve their image in the global market so even they frown on now.

Now if it came from Vietnam or Malaysia then i would be really worried.

Why would they encourage replication? There's no money to be made from it. And as we have all agreed in numerous threads about wheels and China and Australia - Moco is VERY interested in making money.

I just did some research and it wasn't very hard to find out that these are authentic Harley jackets. They are made by Sun **** Industry Co. Ltd.
"Sun **** Industry Co., Ltd is a leading Chinese Supplier of Harley Davidson cotton and Harley Davidson leather jackets"
They seem to have ties to the Indian division of Harley as well.

Is where all the raw leather comes from , cows aren't that common in china .

If all that's true and the guy is tied to the Moco as a supplier and he's now marketing free lance , what has changed on his end to prompt this action ?
