My guess would be no... most HK sellers aren't particularly legit.

Ultimately, if you like the cut, it's probably going to be about the same quality whether or not it's real in this particular case. They may very well be overruns, but it's your call. Certainly if it's something really high end, the quality may be less, but I'm not really sure G-Star is that well made especially if the retail is only $299 on the jacket anyways.

What is he going to say, that it's not really authentic so you should tell ebay to remove him for copyright infringement?

True. The people who submitted feedback on the coats were happy, but most of those people don't know ****.

How is the sizing on these coats? Do they run bigger or smaller?

The measurements seem to indicate they're pretty slim. A Large has a 43" chest measurement.

That is a beautiful jacket if it's as pictured. Too bad he doesn't carry a small!

So you think since I wear a 42 in sport coats/blazers I should go with an XL? coats vary for me, I own a medium pea coat and a large in others but I am afraid to go with XL.

That's certainly a possibility. You may want to contact htem to determine what the situation is.

Just check the measurements of your peacoat and compare to what the measurements listed are.
