Can anyone authenticate this camel hair Brooks Brothers coat? Something looked funny about the tag. Thanks

Um, I doubt anyone would ever made a fake BB item. It is real, just a bit old.

Over 10 years old, probably a thrift store item on eBay.

I've never seen a knock-off Brooks Brothers garment, not in China. BB is not really a famous luxury brand to get copied anyway.

Re-up, should I purchase? I would like a camel hair jacket, would this be a good buy or search elsewhere?

Not sure why someone would want to fake a BB to make $110. Based on the lapel width and gorge, I'd put it at 10-15 years old. I think it looks pretty dated, but it's up to you if you like the styling. For that price I am guessing you could buy five or six in a thrift store.

It's Brooks Brothers. That strikes me as a bit high for Vintage Brooks.

Hard to tell what the lapels look like because main pic is from a high angle.

Price is OK. Yes you could find one for less elsewhere, perhaps, but how long would that take? What is your time worth?

A smarter seller would have a pic of the label.

But regardless, it looks legit.
