You may see the ‘same’ item on sale in the regular & outlet stores, ie, same design/look etc.
However, the outlet item will have been manufactured with inferior materials, stitching, care, quality checks etc; as others mention, it can sometimes be easy to spot this.
It is suggested that around 95% of outlet stock is made specifically for outlets & has never been near nor intended to be for regular stores.
That’s fine as long as you’re aware & don’t compare pricing etc for items in US/UK regular stores vs outlet stores; they’re not the same items.
