I don't know if it is pirated or not. But, I ordered several Smith and Wesson polo shirts. The logo is pretty frickin cool with sewed in stiching of the logo on the chest and both arms. It definitely says "don't **** with me". I don't really think it is pirated because pirated usually doesn't come in XXXL. That is western size. But, it isn't like the ones on the S&W website for $46.95 and those don't look nearly as cool.

Could it be that the pirates are now producing superior quality product to the real thing?

Now, why are polo shirts like crazy price and you can buy like all sorts of quality stuff cheaper than a polo shirt?

For the an even cheaper price than a polo shirt, you can buy:

Smith and Wesson Model 1 Chain-Linked Universal Nickel Handcuff for $32.95.

Smith and Wesson First Response Knife for $24.95

Smith and Wesson fashionable head, eye and ear gear for $25.25

Okay, the reloadable Men's Cologne is a bit more expensive at $95

I think this is the greatest bargain of all. It says rubber counter mat.

I'm thinking floor mat outside the front door of my new condo and at $7.95 is a steal.

So, I started this thread out about brands you'd buy pirated and ended up ordering from the Smith and Wesson website. I don't even think my pirated is pirated. It is probably a gun show or something. Anyway, any of you guys feel that priated stuff is okay for certain brands? If not, why they go jacking with the price?

I bought a knockoff Rolex at a gun show in Tulsa once.

If Rolex actually made some cool watches, I'd do that.

My OU watch bought at Sharpe's in Madill is/was cool. It's dying now and I need a new one. Why doesn't the OU merchandise store have some Asian sweatshop make more like that one?

See, at Baylor we have lots of unskilled and uneducated workers making Baylor products -- they're called A&M graduates.

I bought a knock off Tag watch in Manila for $20. It stopped the correct time after two weeks. Oh well, didn't really expect much more from it.

Seiko makes a decent affordable watch and backwards...Seiko is "Okies".

There is nothing better IMO. :D

Bought two replica Tags back a few years back and they weren't worth what I gave for 'em as well. I'll stick with the Kenneth Cole one I got from Ross. :D

Actually bought what I thought was a knockoff Rolex in New York a few years ago for $80 (Although to be fair I asked the guy how fake the watch was and he said "not fake not fake") and the local jewelry/watch shop valued it a $2000, either they are stupid, its a darn good fake or some homeless Indian guy lost $1900.
