Hello guys, i know this Donna Karan Couture jacket i am asking you about is legit and authentic. But i do not have aaaany experience at all with the brand, plus in Europe it is not that common as in the US. So, what do you think, does it worth the 10 € he is asking for? He claims that it is handmade, with handmade buttonholes and horn buttons (maybe full canvas too? I do not know). Any opinion is welcome
(I did not know where else to ask)

I’ll just go ahead and say it; that jacket is butt f****g ugly! If you’re considering it for yourself then accept that as constructive feedback.

It looks legit, but with that said, there’s really nothing “couture” about it. It’s not handmade the way you might think of it. It’s dated; That particular line is from the 90’s and looking at the lapels I’d say the jacket is from that era.

If I were buying it, I’d pay $20.

I am not gonna lie, i've thought about it too. For 10 € is not that reaaally bad.. But i will probably spend it on something else. I agree with what you said. Thanks for your truthful and honest opinion Phileas! Much appreciated.

Hey guys,
my girlfriend was looking at sweaters on ebay and found this brunello cucinelli. Opinions on whether it's real or fake? Most of the labels i've seen say made in italy or cashmere for brunello cucinelli sweaters which this one doesn't have.
Thanks

Legit or fake? ?

 

[Phileas Fogg]

Looks ok to me. What’s your concern?

I rather see this „M” horizontally in RL polos. Logo also seemed to be crooked, but maybe that’s just a hanger
is it also usually so transparent? hanger is visible inside the polo...

Thats 100% real. You can get those for super cheap at outlet stores.

Sorry for flooding thread, but here we go again ?

an outlet piece was what I was thinking of as well. RL, like many others, produces a line specific to their outlet shops. Usually a cheaper quality though also quite a bit less.

Is Giorgio Armani line (not EA) having it’s own polos? Looks strange to me

At least the label (P&C) is from a german highstreet store. I'd expect the to use a Giorgio Armani boutique label for a fake.
