Thank you for your input in advance, hard to get a good photo of the holograph. The tag being held on with two stitches disheartens me, I do however have versace clothes from saks with the same type of tag stitching. This is a bomber with removable sleeves by button. It is polyamide. The only other thing that worries me is the ribbed hemming on the interior/waist has somewhat been abraised after a couple days, I was wearing it pretty tight with a very abrasive leather belt brushing on it constantly, and who knows how long this has sat in storage. I'm guessing at least 10 years as this is only holographic. No RFID. I will disclose the name of this reputable seller/store after I get some input, if that is allowed. Thank you!

Took a gamble on eBay with something from the Ukraine only because it was new with tags... or at least, said it was going to be new with tags. Definitely came in as a different jacket than what was pictured. Take a look at these and tell me if you've ever seen a cuccinelli sport jacket with a tag like this or the name on the back of the collar as opposed to the very discreet structure that is normally inside the lapel. Buttons seem to be plastic as well. Ah...and the fake buttonhole on the lapel too, lol. Oh will the scams ever stop?! Or maybe I'm off base... You guys let me know

What do you guys think of this one? Never seen cucinelli tags in black/red and definitely never seen a name seen into the back collar. Fake buttonhole on the lapel?! The sizing/material tags are missing the company as well. May be a cheap Italian model with imitation Cucinelli tags on it? Idk.

I would bet heavily on fake.

I could be wrong. But considering the price of a BC sport coat (list)....this looks cheap.

One look at the embroidery under the collar and you can tell it’s a fake.
Next time, ask first.

It's covered under a return/authenticate protection. I wasn't too worried about it. I think they pictured the authentic item and then sent the garbage. It's all wrinkled from being rolled up in there but you can tell the quality just isn't there when up close. Going to see if I can find something similar that's actually quality or legit. Thanks again.

I also think it’s fake. Any photos of the fabric/content label?

Dears , need your advice regarding this used Zilli leather jacket. The owner claims it is original , bought in Germany. Selling for 1000 EUR. I have some suspicions since lining is made not of silk and the inner label with materials (last picture) is not hand written .. please advice. Thank you !

Hi, I'm wondering about this cap, is it an authentic Hermès piece? thanks in advance

So should I post it on Vestiaire? I'd wear it even if it was fake but I just learned cap sizes are important, and 55 is too small
