Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

[Spruce Moose]

I now have the sweater in hand. Here are more photos of the tags, for your viewing pleasure. I cannot for the life of me, via eBay completed listings or a Bing image search, find an emroidered tag like this.

Hi Guys

Has anyone seen a Saint Laurent label like this ?
It was bought in a TK MAXX store about 6 years ago, I cant find anything similar but I didn't think TK Maxx would sell fake goods?

The blue on the label is an exact colour match with the blue of the Rive Gauche aftershave

Made in Hong Kong , cotton loose knit sweatshirt

My guess is a similarly named brand

I've come across lots of different Brioni tags done in different colors and so on, but I've never seen it embroidered like this. I searched through lots of images of Brioni sweaters & shirts on ebay and they're all fabric labels stitched into the collar. The person selling this sweater is also selling other menswear from different brands, appears to be their personal closet (including another Brioni suit and a button-down).

Should the "i" be extending down farther and be dotted? It seems their traditional gold on white size tag is peaking out from the edge there. I just find it so odd either way because if you're going to fake it, wouldn't you use a tag so it at least looks like everything else?

You'll notice he also just sold a Brioni suit among other things like RLPL, Stefano Ricci, Oxxford and so on.

What think ye? And if it's legit, is it just really old or really new?

Don’t know about this item but there are lots of Brioni shirts, jumpers, jeans and t-shirts for sale from Bulgarian sellers that are all fake so if you see anything listed on eBay from Bulgaria I would avoid it.

Not a RL expert. But the stitching is dense and even, looks like a quality shirt.

I was wondering if anyone can verify if this Ralph Lauren shirt is genuine or not. I've never seen a logo like that on a RL shirt...

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello All, I found this armani le collezioni jacket recently at a thrift shop for ten dollars, im wondering if anyone can help identify its era/if its real? Thanks

 

[Steve-0]

Anyone?

@Steve-0 looks legit to me - it's just not the Giorgio Armani that most here go for to be honest, imo. I typically only pick up Giorgio Armani black label pieces, but if it's for yourself and you like it, then go for it!

The labels seem legitimate though they are older versions, probably 15 years ago.

Zilli garment bag. Lots of up-close images but not hi-res and also here's my suspicion: It's NWT for $50 and it's being sold by an eBay seller with little feedback located in Russia and this is his only item. And he has 10 of them.

My first thoughts, in addition to the above, is that stitching looks uneven on the label and the registered trademark is going the wrong direction.

I know they make good fakes these days but any chance anyone here can shed some light as to the authenticity (or not) of these shoes?

Could anybody tell me whether or not this vintage burberry coat is real or fake?

I have just bought this Brioni sweater, but the label looks a bit strange to me because I haven't seen any Brioni with blue label nor with MADE IN ITALY on the label, but the fabric looks well made, and the tag looks real too. It's hard for me to judge.
Can anyone help? Thank you!

In the field.
Is this legit? No other tag to be found?
