Brioni for $149??

A quick search of Brioni returned this:

http://www.amazon.com/Bianco-Brioni-.../dp/B002T6PPOE

I'm not quite sure what these are. Cheap knock-offs? But it's Amazon so I figured it must be something else?

Good ole Bianco Brioni. Not going to lie, just did some investigating into some of the other suits they have. http://www.amazon.com/Bianco-Brioni-.../dp/B002T6PPOE That one purports to have Loro Piana fabric, but I'm not familiar with that tag and I'm thinking the whole thing is a sham. How could they combine LP 150's wool, functioning buttons, and the like into a $150 suit? Edit: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=193862

Good ole Bianco Brioni.

I've noticed that those Bianco Brioni suits are still being sold by Amazon. Presumably they're using the Brioni name to fool the unwary into buying an item that's not the real thing. They've probably heard of Brioni from the 007 movies, see these on Amazon. James Bond wears Brioni, so these must be good.

Surely this is illegal isn't it, Amazon USA (not China) selling blatant knock-offs like these, products that are designed to deceive. Trademark infringement at least.

We have plenty of knock-off Brioni here, but then that's to be expected.
