Its horrendous lol. It constantly needs to be adjusted, then gets misaligned easy. and even aligned it still looks off. \n\n-material is actually good, but still feels cheaper than retail \n\n-pleats look good from afar and honestly I wouldnt be able to tell if someone wore these. However, I have to say the pleat construction is still off. As a result it doesn't flow the same as retail and stacks a little weirdly (like when you sit down or bend your legs, or wear high top shoes). It bugs me after wearing the authentic religiously how the rep's fabric bunches up differently \n\n-this goes for the black pair, but the color is off its not as deep a black as authentics. Can't speak for other colors though \n\nSo all in all, they're a good batch and I honestly wear mine a lot as beater pants when I go to the grocery store and shit .
