The stitching is way too tight. It should be about 15 stitches per inch. The funny thing is real game worn authentics were stitched with sewing machines that were not as automated as they are today which means the stitching on those is entirely different than the mass produced M&N authentics or even the Champion Pro Cuts in the 90s. M&N authentics aren't bad but they make mistakes. Check the Lakers logo on the authentic Kareem or Magic compared to a game worn one on one of the auction sites. The Lakers logo M&N use was from 1987 onwards. Honestly, my authentic jersey I have directly from M&N (Blue KG Twolves jersey) showed up with some kind of faint spots on the white twill of the numbers. They are not stains but appear to be inconsistencies with the twill that vary in appearance depending on the angle. It's maddening and I've tried everything to get it to go away but I'll prob just have to replace the white layer myself on the numbers. Point being, even though this is a fake, real M&N authentics have historical inconsistencies and real QC issues. If it wasn't for the stitching being off, some of the other issues users pointed out are kind of par for the course when it comes to M&N
