That’s great if you can get the real gear. The problem with “lookalikes” is the quality of materials and tailoring. The first pair of these strides I had, the ones from Germany, were so flimsy. While looking like the real thing, the moleskin was just heavy cotton, the pockets were light nylon stuff that ripped and they were slim-fit (not told this in ad., even seller didn’t know it, because he’d not looked at the things!).
I blame the expanding waist on Covid – before isolation, I used to get around the shops for food and stuff quite a bit. Not happening now, and unlikely to happen again soon with this Omicron variant variant arriving.
