Can anyone identify whether this seller's polo ralph lauren polo shirts are fake or not? I've searched online but the guides all show a tag that is slightly different ( only has a small part of the tag with the size attached). He has a high ebay rating which makes it hard not to believe but I am still doubtful. Thank you very much!! I have not bought any clothing from any ralph lauren label yet so I am still uncertain about checking the authenticity.

I picked these up cheap on eBay for resell on a buy it now snipe. I have sold a dozen pairs of ferragamos before but these have my questioning. The seller had decent reviews but not that many as a seller. What throws me off is the black print for label, the placement of the serial code, and the logo on the bottom. Are they perhaps just an older model?

Difficult to say for certain but they're probably genuine studio line loafers from a while back, in a non-original SF box.

Aren't they're studio loafers always marked with "studio". I have determined that the box is not for the shoes that it comes with, the pictures and model name are strategically scratched off and the shoe size for the box is 7 while the shoes are 7 1/2

This is what worries me, it's not the Prada Milano print lining.
