RLPL OCBD solid shirts - fakes

About 2 years ago, I bought 3 solid "RLPL" shirts off of ebay for somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 each... should have known it was too good to be true. You get what you pay for.

I uncovered them from a spare bedroom closet this weekend and snapped some shots to share here for your entertainment and comments. With a few years of past experience at a US based shirtmaker and later with PRL Boys, I knew immediately by glancing at the construction that these were fakes - and bad ones at that. I vaguely recall pinging the seller with my thoughts and was given the run around on returning them.

Has anyone else seen these or know their origin?

Can anyone decipher the tag info?

Check out the button hole work especially.
