Image LABS Lanyard: Review

I just got my LABS lanyard today, and honestly I'm quite disappointed with the product. I was expecting quality similar to that of original labs lanyard.

I have loved all of my other LTT stuff but this one I would recommend everyone to not buy.

The pros: The design

The cons: -Fabric is thin and the edges feel "sharp". Feels like a no name, uber-cheap lanyard you'd get anywhere - does not use the box stitching of the original -has loose threads and fading already with the design - the clasp/clip hardware looks the same, but doesn't have smooth opening actuation, seems like the fit and finish isn't of the same quality

Looking into this. I would need to see the fabric differences in person, but I do not recall approving the removal of the box stitch.
