Fake Harrington Jackets on eBay?

[wgbennett83]

I recently won an auction for a Brooks Brothers Harrington Jacket. Since receiving it, I notice that the same seller has posted a jacket that looks almost identical but says this one is a Baracuta G-9. Here are the two auctions:

Brooks Brothers Auction

Baracuta Auction

Given that these two coats are identical except for the tags, they are most certainly fakes, correct? It really doesn't seem like there would be much money in faking these harrington coats. Even if the coat is fake, I'm still happy with it. It looks good and I only paid about $30 with shipping.

They're not fake.

How do you know?

The blue Baracuta is one from the days when Van Heusen was licensed to make cheaper versions for sale in the States. But it's authentic.

What the **** are you talking about. Almost every piece of clothing on ebay is fake. Also, quit posting the link to your god damn ebay auction. Whats this your 5th time posting that stupid thing? I cant wait till your auction is over so you can stop spamming your ****** jacket.

Im just sick of seeing his link casually added to every thread on harrington jackets. It would be one thing if he was like hey Im selling mine, check out the auction here, but he signed up for an account and casually points out how Ben Sherman makes the best ones and that you can find great deals on ebay and then includes a link to the same auction every time. Its bullshit.

He must be pretty desperate to make a few bucks.
