I Think I Got Scammed

The other day I bought a very nice lrg hoodie at a Burlington Coat Factory. I got it for a decent price, a little less than the original, but i think it's a fake. I thought it would be weird for a big department store to be selling a fake of a product, but I've been looking around on google and found out that there is many lrg products being faked. There are a few reasons why I think my lrg hoodie is a fake.
-On the inside tags there is no name of the hoodie
-I can't find the hoodie on their website or anywhere online
-on some of the tags it says "147% made with love / respect that" (i'm not positive but i think it's supposed to say '100%')

Otherwise it seems perfectly fine, just curious to what you guys think/ if any of you have accidentally bought a fake product.

Lrg is all about detailing. I would say look for the little tags in various places on the sweatshirt.

ya i looked at all the tags and everything seems pretty legit except for the 147% thing. Also when i was searching around online on a different forum website someone said that they bought a fake lrg hoodie and said that theirs said "150% made with love / respect that" and that it's supposed to say "100%"

i'm reading about lrg fakes right now and it looks to me like real lrg goes either way with 147% or 100%. i'd say look at other tags

"147% Original LRG " on the leather belt holder part of my jeans.
147 is an lrg thing, not sure why. and my hoody says 47 on it. both real.

Burlington coat factory is not like macy's, more like tj maxx, they buy old overstock, and pieces with slight errors so they can sell it to u for cheap. Its probably real lrg, its prob just old overstock
