Lululemon is accusing Costco of infringing on its intellectual property by selling knock-offs of some of its most popular products.

A lawsuit filed in a California court recently alleges Costco sells "dupes" of Lululemon's Scuba hoodies and sweatshirts, Define jackets and ABC pants.

Some of the alleged fakes Vancouver-based Lululemon identified are sold under Costco's private label Kirkland, but others are made by manufacturers Danskin, Jockey and Spyder.
I happen to wear the ABC pants from Lululemon - they're fantastic but pricey ($138) and with my recent weight loss none of them fit anymore but I don't want to replace them 1:1 as I'm still losing more weight. Definitely going to try the Kirkland knockoff pants and shorts now.

yah they ain't cheap - i pivoted over to golf pants eons ago and I feel it's more breathable and 'light weight'. I haven't seen the jackets in GTA but now i'm intrigued.

i'm picturing "JUICY" pants now :lawl:

costco also tried to get sued over their golf products, i think their clubs and balls were "copying" one of the big golf brands i forget which brand though

costco's golf/urban wear pants are pretty nice and affordable. they're not kirkland, they're other brands like Head, Mondetta, etc...

i don't think i've seen kirkland branded ones yet...

It was Taylormade for the clubs (P790 shovels) and Titleist (V1 balls)

Whoa, Kirkland has ABC ripoffs? How much, are they available online?

Edit: found it, out of stock unfortunately https://www.costco.ca/kirkland-signa...000349694.html

I think these pants are also ABC rip-offs: https://www.costco.ca/Kirkland-Signa...t.1866973.html

My cue is them saying "4 way stretch fabric" but I'm not totally sure.

I think these shorts (https://www.costco.ca/Kirkland-Signa...t.1855645.html) may also be ABC ripoffs too as they do look just like the ABC shorts and mention "moisture wicking stretch fabric"

I ordered one of each to find out.

That only shows up as 30x30, which is odd. Great if you are that size but I'm not

i wasn't until the RS weight loss accountability thread started :alonehappy:

I'm down but not that much, I've went from a 32 waist to a 31, but I need 32 length.

I wasn't seeing any sizes this morning, but I'm seeing all sizes being available for purchase right now.

I got the long pants yesterday from Costco. 23.99 in store iirc. They are... fine. They are no Lululemon.

The shorts are mostly sold out in 30 and 32 sizes. The shorts aren't true to size as they are about an inch-ish over size on the waist. The Khaki/Beige colour is terrible in person, much too light. The gray and blue looks a bit better. I bought some for my dad and the scanner had a hard time with coupon on screen. No limits it seems.

I got my pants and shorts on Friday and the pants are as you describe - they're fine. For the price they're pretty good though - if the ABC pants are a 9/10 I'd say these are a 5/10 and good enough for day to day wear but definitely not a replacement for the ABC pants. Shame about the lack of colours - they need a navy blue and a proper khaki.

The shorts are a lot closer to the ABC shorts - like a 7 or 8/10 compared to a 9. Shame about the lack of colours as well and the beige isn't a great shade of beige. For the price they are great though. If they had better colours I'd sub these in for ABC shorts no problem.

I brought them home and my wife looked at me and laughed, "Are you that much of a dad now?" :badpokerface:

But it's back to coca cola. I'd take that trade any day.

Next meat we should have it at Costco…. Too bad we’ll never be able to find each other and half of us will end up in a fist fight with some ah bak over a parking spot.

But…. We can all eat cheap hotdogs and go clothes shopping together (I’m not gay, you're gay !)

For a sec I thought you were referring to covering up the R in BARK so that you could be AH BAK.
