Given the price, lack of pics of the tags on the actual shirts, and the number of fakes coming from China, I'm tempted to believe this to not be authentic. Yet, I like the style. Therefore, on principle, I was hoping I could purchase an authenticated version. Trouble is, I don't know what to look for, as I can't really discern just what this shirt's style is called. I haven't turned up anything from Armani.

ioffer is all fake stuff, the ebay for counterfeit chinese clothing.
You basically.. you like wood buttons on a white shirt? Or the design on the cuffs?
I imagine Ted Baker might make something with a bit of cuff design, but you're essentially looking at a white OCBD.. pretty common round these parts.

I actually don't mind fake designer stuff. At the end of the day with Designer you pay for ... the design? Its probably put together by the same class of child-labour so as long as you don't have any pretensions or delusions of grandeur then you end up with good looking clothes at a lower price.

I was taking it as read that no one here would condone buying stuff like that, just that if you were going to walk into HOF and drop £190 on a shirt made by Armani Jeans in turkmenistan or something, then you might as well get it from china and save your money.

That was another concern-the construction and material. But not a major one. I'm not used to high-end designer stuff.

More the cuffs and collar than the buttons necessarily. Thanks, I'll check that out. But what's OCBD stand for?
