Wearing a fake jacket

Q: A fake branded jacket came into my possession as a gift. I like the jacket, but I was informed it is a fake. Is it halaal for me to wear? I don't want to wear it because of the brand, but because it's comfortable. The brand logo is visible on the jacket stitched in.

A: Yes.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
