yes, but is it authentically ugly as ****? Lol, seriously though. I can't tell you about authenticity but I can tell you that it might be a bit overtly branded, kind of like wearing a big nike check across your chest. I'd probably wear this (if i had to) under a jacket, or sweater, etc.

So what gave the indication that it was a fake?


FYI: No I have not worn this, nor do I plan in doing so.

Does it matter whether the garment in question is "authentic?"

That pattern is so recognizable as Burberry that it probably does not matter.

I don't know... but I did a bit of research by asking a few British style devotees what they thought...

Put a bag over her head and we're good.
