Do you have a picture of the crest on the jacket as well as the zippers?

The stuff you've shown looks good (haven't checked spelling and stuff). The cartoon looks faded as it should. A lot of the fakes have a vibrantly colored cartoon.

I'd say you're good to go if the certilogo checks out, as the tags all look right to me. Couldn't hurt to post pics of the crest and zips though. Hope this helps!


Thanks a lot, mate. This jacket does not have the crest, and has the French flag instead. And I don't have the picture of the zipper.

The only thing concerns me is the Cartoon. The blue ink looks a little blurry.

Ahh, is this the Fedor? Love that jacket.

When I blew up the pic of the cartoon, it does look a tad blurry in the writing, but it's hard to tell if that's just poor photos or not. Also, the material the cartoon is on is known to fray at the edges and stuff, it's not great quality. The colors look right to me though, and that's always a big concern.

Yes, it is the Fedor. I agree the Cartoon color looks OK...

One more concern is the UPC code. The seller (ebay) posted a tag with UPC code reads: 8 054403 071176. I googled this UPC code and found NOTHING (this is a serious alarm :( )

Just curious if you have seen a Constance belt with the logo brushed into the front of the belt, such as below? Authentic?

If they are second hand then forget them. If you can't trust what he says that he cannot be much of a friend.

Anyone have any insight on this Gucci v neck? I was thinking legit as it seems like a weird non-gaudy item to fake, but the logo on the back has me second guessing.

I vote legit, tags seem right and like you said not gaudy enough to be worth faking

I saw one of them at some trader in Jinan, 188 Yuan CNY.

I can't imagine anyone faking Oxxford and that particular suit is 30+ years old and damaged.
