Okay, i did some googling and these are in fact fakes.

They originate, as all fakes do, from Taobao. Here is the original listing.

This is a whole new level of accuracy for bird fakes. I wouldn't be suprised if they come from a subcontracting factory.

* body material is slightly different, softer, probably no Merino blend

* label says M/M, but size is actually small

* inside label says 'ash sm' (small) , but the piece is black and the size is actually 'small'

* one arm is 2.5 cm shorter (!), cuffs too wide

* one panel back/below neck is asymmetric, one side is 1cm longer

* inside pocket material and construction/stiching is slightly different

* pocket zips are slightly different color and material

Generally it is not that bad with lots of details, but the wrong construction (arm too short) makes it especially bad.

Best to stay with the original. I have an original Dyadic Cardigan and that one is actually very nice!

Gore & Acronym at ISPO 2017, february:

> Entre las nuevas innovaciones de diseño que Gore presentará en ISPO se encuentran también dos prendas diseñadas en colaboración con la marca Acronym. Su cofundador, Errolson Hugh, es uno de los pioneros de la moda funcional y está especializado en crear prendas técnicas que son elegantes y modernas a la vez.

So there will be a collaboration between Acronym and Gore for two pieces.
