Could be because there is a part II thread (the first one got way too long)

Hi all,

what would be the case with this Isaia label/tag?

ISAIA NAPOLI GIACCA DRESS JACKET TG 50 NEW!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=110521403029

I guess it is quite old stock but legit?

 

[texas_jack]

Never seen that tag before. Probably fake.

Doesn't help that the pictures show essentially nothing.

I've seen it before - I think it's one of those made-in-China-to-look-like-a-real-brand brands

This guy insists that his Corneliani for Polo suit is fully canvassed. I sent him a message but he's sticking to his story.

It looks quite like this tag in a vintage looking jacket here

http://cgi.ebay.de/Luxus-ISAIA-Sakko...ht_1715wt_1165

and is similar but a bit different to this tag seen in ladieswear in ebay.de, as here:

http://cgi.ebay.de/ISAIA-Damen-Blaze...ht_1809wt_1165

which then again is same as the tag in the suit the original seller has sold before:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_500wt_1182

The vintage jacket has some kind of store label on which a fake/chinese probably wouldn't have, so one could think that the label style would be an older Isaia label or label of other "real" brand with same name?

I'm no expert, but I'd be very wary. As whusurdadi said, I suspect that it's a "sound-alike" brand designed with the intention of imitating Isaia. On the other hand, maybe it is just an old label. That's the difficulty with auctions with poor/few photos - you can sometimes pick up a great deal, or you can get ripped off!

Nice Caruso at a decent price. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-RAFFAELE-CAR...item5d28d8cb39

Another one of the Zanella by Caruso that were floating around a year or two ago.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Without even commenting on the style of the suit, I'd stay away from a suit that I have not had a chance to try on and have no knowledge about the fit. You can't just go by the pictures. So I'd strongly recommend staying away from the Korea-made suit, as you'll have no idea what you're getting and it will be difficult to get an ill-fitting suit fixed.

As for the H&M, you'd probably be best served by going to a store first and deciding on which model fits you best, and then looking for it online.

Unless you already know you want an H&M suit, as long as you're at the mall, you might as well go hit all the stores and see what works. There are plenty of things in that price range.
