Help is appreciated, having a 'discussion' with an EBay vendor. I received something which does not fit like an EU50 for men.

Actually Nr 10 indicates the men's collection.

But looking at the label, it looks very untidily stitched. There is a possibility that the label was fixed by someone into some garment, which might not be a men's coat or even anything from Margiela.

Maybe pictures of the whole garment might help. How does the coat button, left over right (male) or right over left (female)?

I've also never seen the size tag attached directly to the Margiela tag. And I have/have seen a lot of Margiela pieces. Typically, on a jacket, the size tag is in the inside breast pocket, along with the composition and manufacturer/s tag, or on the left hem on a knit piece.

Thanks to all. It buttons left over right, thus a men's piece, as indicated by the graphic.

Thank you bengal for the link to the graphic.

It is a very odd thing, super skinny sleeves which would never fit over a suit jacket. More streetwear I suppose.
