LAK74 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) The crest and shoulder patches are not stitched down (which is the way they come from the factory). The LOS ANGELES letters on the front hem may be stitched down, but I just can't tell for sure from the pictures. Don't let the fact that the crest/patches aren't sewn down stop you from getting the jersey, because all the CCM's and Kohos are that way. And as I mentioned before, you can always get that done by someone. Edited June 20, 2017 by LAK74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Purple Penguin Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Ok, thanks again! Problem with having someone stitch everything on is that the jersey isn't all that cheap to begin with, especially for a replica. How much would i have to pay on top of that now?

jsh139 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Personally, I would hold out for a CCM/Koho authentic. The quality of the Canadian-made jerseys is really good. The older styles come along now and again on eBay. Alternatively, you can try posting here or in one of the Facebook groups. Someone may have a blank or a one with a player you are interested in.

How much would i have to pay on top of that now? I hadn't even looked at the price. Even if the jersey is indeed mint, the current reduced price is not cheap by any means. I was able to get a new Koho authentic of that model for the same price a couple of years ago. Don't quote me on the stitching job (I'm lucky that I don't have to pay for my stitch jobs), but if it's just a zigzag stitch around the crest and shoulder patches, I wouldn't think most people would charge over $10. It's looking more and more like the hem letters are already stitched, so hopefully you wouldn't have to worry about those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Purple Penguin Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Way out of my price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Purple Penguin Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 CCM replica i posted from eBay in this thread should be identical to the Koho, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAK74 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 They should be the same, but the CCM was probably made a few years later and in a different factory, so I can't say with 100% certainty that they are identical, but from what I have seen, I can't say there is any significant difference.

Kingofkings Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've been lucky enough to grab 2 different Authentic KOHO's in this style for under $100! One of them was even NWT. They pop up more often than not so just wait it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Purple Penguin Posted June 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Nice! Where did you find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudrock512 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 It's a good jersey, everything is probably glued on, but way too much for a replica jersey. I have seen authentic jerseys sell for cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OR68 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Are 46/48's rare?...I don't see them pop up often (unless I'm just not seeing them) and the last 48 I saw went over $210 on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not right now, but if you keep looking, sometimes for months or in some cases even years, you'll eventually find it. I just found something this week that I've been looking for for over 4 years! (Don't worry, a reasonably-priced authentic of the type you're looking for probably will turn up within a few months, or maybe even less.)

If you want to find one, just go spend the money on something else. Seriously though. If you're willing to spend 100-ish on a replica, I would recommend holding out for an authentic. Get a good ebay search set up, and check it regularly. I just did a quick search of completed items, and they don't seem to be too rare.
