Lately I bought a new Jearsey Sharp team shirt. One of my friends told me that it is a fake because the zipper. are there any indications that I can check about the zipper to see if my shirt is genuine or a counterfiet?
Thanks

I am not from Castelli, but ran into fakes every now and then.
It's quite easy to find out:
- Castelli-tag attached: I don't think that the fake items are fully tagged
- Castelli uses high quality YKK®-zippers
- most of the garments (depending on the model and style) do have an elastic silicon gripper with "castelli"-lettering inside
- seat pad: Kiss or Progetto for the bibs
- cut and panels: most of the fake pieces have a very bad cut
- fabrics
- position, size and character of the logos: fake pieces do always have weakness in this points which can be identified quite easily
Hope that helps.
