If it says "Tessuto" then it's a jacket made with Zegna cloth from another manufacturer. If the Zegna tag is on the right instead of on the left where the maker tag usually is, you should give it a second look.

Hit a couple of stores today, picked up a pair of JM Westons (1st  pair in wild), marked 9.5 D (I think they are UK sizing but not 100% sure....anyone know?) N/A

 

 

 

 

After never finding a thing stopping in a TJM or Marshall's over the last 6 months, they finally seem to be stocking somewhat better quality items than Ive seen in my area, saw quite a few Corneliani suits (ID ? and mainline) (either $399 or $499, cant remember), mainline D&G suits, and quite a bit of PRL (SC's, cashmere sweathers),Rugby,  as well as a couple of RL black label shirts..most decent stuff still priced high and not marked down....did manage to find a few things I picked up:

 

Pantherella x 2 wool blend socks

 

 

RLPL black white gingham shirt, marked down to $69,,,copped for myself as a late Xmas present but having 2nd thoughts at the moment so I stuck it on the bay w/ a BIN and may return....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amongst several  $79 (marked down price) Versace ties I did find this as well, I guess it was a price mistake....

Seeing as this is one of the most popular threads, I'd like to ask for some help authenticating an item on ebay. http://www.styleforum.net/t/331471/is-this-a-real-belt

Definitely a real belt. That'll hold up pants with the best of 'em.

You can also try this thread:

That Ferragamo script looks right, but it's usually a lot more prominent (i.e., larger in proportion to the space it's written on) on the things I buy. But I'm not really a good authority.

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

 

 

Ties: Ferragamo, Ferragamo, Talbott BOC, BB, Talbott, PRL

+1 Looks like a 100% authentic belt to me fing02[1].gif - FYI this is not an authentication thread, so don't expect much love with non thrift brags.
