Is this Band of Outsiders tie a fake??

till507 · Jan 1, 2010

So - I bought a Band of Outsider's tie as a Christmas present to myself on ebay. It's my fifth. The seller is reputable, the tie is the right length and the right width for a Band of Outsider's tie...the only differences are: there's no "made in the USA" label on the smaller end of the tie, and the BoO label is WAY different and looks really cheap. So I turn this over to you, Styleforum: is this a fake? If not, what's the deal?

You really thought this needed it's own thread? Really?

you know the quick solution would be to not waste your time replying to a thread that you're not interested in. I guess with 2000+ posts in two years I'm telling the wrong person.

You think so? Any idea as to why the label is so different? I'm really curious.

If you like it does it matter? I mean you bought it off ebay so either way you didn't pay a princely sum.

This is just a matter of curiosity. The quality of the tie is completely fine and there are no repurcussions for the seller at all. Also a thread can be deleted later rather than junking up an existing thread where this may be completely off topic, hence the new thread. It'll be gone by Sunday most likely.

Whatever it is, it is an ugly tie.

That's a little hasty. If you can pull it off you can pull it off, plain and simple...

As if you can tell how it looks in actual light from that photo.

Anyway, do they fake BoO now? I don't think so. I haven't ever seen one faked.

All good. Apologies if I came off irritated. Anyone rabid BoO fans want to chime in on the tie?
