I don't have a huge budget to spend on clothing, so I'm continually drawn to ebay in particular and lately to this forum for getting hopefully good quality clothing at a discount.
I'm pretty new to high end fashion so I guess I'm looking for guidelines as to what to look for with used clothing. I've done some reading on fused vs. canvassed, and intend to look into the construction quality of different brands and lines, learning about things like hand vs. machine stitching, but assuming that a garment meets all or some of these quality requirements, what should I be looking for in terms of shopping for used stuff?
For example I see quite a few Canali jackets on ebay for under a hundred dollars. Every one screams out to me "great deal" if they're authentic, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for beyond that.
How much does how old a piece of clothing is matter? How can one tell how old it is if it looks to be in pretty good condition? If something is 10 years old but doesn't look like it has been used much is it still worth buying?
I apologize if this has already been asked, so if anyone can direct me to threads that cover this topic or provide me with some direction it would be much appreciated.
