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

[Phileas Fogg]

It’s real. The details are immaculate as would be expected with LP.

See at how clean the stitching around the label look?

Look at the rubbing around the collar...clean. The suede behind the collar. For one thing, I doubt a fake would go that distance, but even if so, look at how clean and even the stitching is.

That I can’t help you with...sorry.

The lack of a model name makes me think it’s part of a jacket. Their vests are made to be worn either way.

I am not sure if my response will help in any way, but LV counterfeits are one of the hardest to single out. Because literally they have done this for years, with reverse engineering almost refined to the T. Usually you will have to handle the bag and check for seams, stitches, and the robustness/smoothness of the zipper.

The serial number looks really out of place to me. I have never seen that. As funny as this may sound, you should ask the ladies at purseforum who can probably snitch it out in a matter of minutes. Tons of LV experts there.

Thanks so much! Defo will!

Hello wonderful people! Came across these Loubs, seller said it’s legit but they don’t have the box nor the receipt. Thoughts?

Hi guys, is this an authentic Ralph Lauren Black Label sweater? Thanks.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

Well, the label is certainly genuine but that’s it. It looks as though it has been hastily and sloppily sewn on. A close up of the second pic suggests as much.

Also, while it is not unusual for RLBL to be made in China, that “made in China” label, ironically suggests it’s just some cheap garment produced for the SE Asian market with the label sewn on.

Is this Satorio by Kiton look genuine ? since the gorge is quite low compare to Neatpolitan style... although other details look good !

Found a YSL brown suede jacket at my local thrift. Couldn’t tell if it was a knockoff so I went ahead and bought it. Any insight?
