~Legit Check~ 2011 A/W Polo & 1st OG Shark Zozo

Hey guys I bought a Navy size L from Cliffedge:

http://www.cliffedge.co.jp/a-bathing-ape/a-polo-shirt/44-82-218-000246-041s.html

I have checked the following:

1) Tags seem to be legit.
2) Bape Head Tag has a shiny bottom.
3) Bape Head says: "REP WHERE YA FROM"
4) Neck Logo/Tag place seems well stitched.
5) There is a Black Bape Head behind the L.
6) The 100% cotton part I confirmed with the sticky on forum.
7) There is a well stitched gold Bape Head with a white Bape Head inside of it too.

The ONLY problem I have with this order from Cliffedge is that there is a mispelling:

Do not bleach.
May shrink after
washing.
Do not soak.
Wash separately.
Smooth before drying.
Dry imediately
after washing.
Do not tumble dry.
Do not leave wet.
Do not iron directly
on patches.

Immediately is spelt wrong. Is this usually a dead giveaway? Can someone please help me? I apologise in advance I do not have a high res camera hence I cannot capture images which will actually show the words in clarity.

Finally, I also ordered this from eBay from ngsm aka RARE-S.
This is the listing:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110703627444&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

I thought it was legit. But I would like a second opinion on this one. Is it legit? RARE-S wasn't listed on the official authentic resellers guide though.

both items are legit
Thanks valencia. I remember "BEFORHAND" was legit and fakes usually spelt it as "BERORHAND".

Now, does anyone (or valencia) know that "imediately" is supposed to be spelt wrong on legit Bapes?

And it seems that the 1st version OG shark hoody from zozoland has "ATTENTION" as the speech mark rather than "WE EARLY" or "REP WHERE YA FROM". Are all 3 of these legit speech bubbles?

Thanks ASNKA, it gives peace of mind to hear that someone else has bought from those resellers and confirmed its legit.

valencia, thanks heaps for the picture, however, is there any reason why your hoody doesn't say:

"Do not iron directly
on patches."

I was thinking if my tag is so similar to yours, they should both be the SAME right? Just wondering why I have an extra Do not iron directly on patches line.

Velancia, I just got my first hoody today, and it seems that the outside material of the hoody feels rough.

I mean, its so expensive but it some of my other less expensive hoody's outer material (cotton) actually feels much more smooth compared to the Bape material.

Why is this? Is it just the Shark and Tiger hoodies which have a rough outer texture?

Or are the other Bape hoodies just the same? Why don't they use softer more high quality cotton?
