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

[Denim&things]

Hi all. I bought this hoodie hoping to resell it but am concerned that it might be fake. I am seeing a lot of Chinese sellers on ebay with the same hoodie for crazy low prices.

I have been browsing about authenticating and it seems like "Burberrys of London" could have been when production was done under US license. Otherwise, the trench coat looks in great condition, good quality. I hope the experts here can help confirm. I can't seem to nail down on the year either. No rain flap, so I am guessing not a proper vintage.

Looks good. 1990’s maybe? Not a classic style trench but still one Burberry has done

Assume it’s fake but would like a second opinion. Does feel like real silk.

Real or fake? Paid 100 dollars for this not that it matters anymore. Yes needs to be washed and dry cleaned whatever. happy with it, but the black stitching on the label makes things questionable. I can tell the size tags fell off, but the label makes it look authentic and the jacket just seems to be so well done. Does yves saint laurent rive gauche ever use black thread for stitching the label? I've seen black stitched rive gauche labels around the web but never knew if it was real or not. Thanks in advance if anyone gets back to me.

Trust your gut. It's fake

I bought this Paul and Shark polo at a thrift store. I checked the certilogo code and it came up as authentic but the poor stitching turns me off. Any idea whether it might be authentic or not?

I can't see that well, as I'm viewing on my mobile at the moment, but it looks legit to me.

Hi, I recently bought a Loro Piana cashmere cardigan from a thrift store. I can't tell if it's fake - the fabric tag is on the interior side and does not have the brand name or logo printed on it. Also, the thread attaching the brand tag runs through the tree in the logo, which I have never seen before. However, the details (brand name on the buttons) seem to be there. Your thoughts would be appreciated

Labels and buttons look OK, LP label could have been resewn.

Looks authentic. I am not seeing the "poor stitching"

Hi, I just bought this jumper from Versace Jeans Couture online. However, the stitching of the zipper seems to be poor, so I am wondering if it's a fake?

You may want to consult :foo:. I believe he has some experience w/ YSL (SLP?) jackets

Is it real of fake?

Definitely looks gauche to me.
