It's absolutely a fake, unfortunately. Fabriqué en U.S.A. is grammatically-incorrect (it should be Fabriqué *aux* États-Unis) and most of the rest of the French translation is hilarious.

I believe it's a fake. In French the word for rib would be côte, not cote, and we wouldn't use that word as it refers to a rib-bone, not material ribbing.

A high-end brand like Thom Browne wouldn't make that mistake.

I guess you can't base on the French grammar to authenticate Thom Browne. Checked online authenticity instruction of Thom Browne. The spells are "correct".

Could you please post the source you used for authentication?
I would be shocked if genuine Thom Browne had French translations were that bad.

Hallo guys,

I just purchased a Zilli Zip Polo from Vestiaire. Although they did an authentification I would like a second opinion. I‘ve taken pictures of all tags and the zipper (UZ Zipper). It is size 54 but turns out small and fights tight, which maybe normal for Zilli?
Thank you very much!

anyone?

Ok i’m here again, months ago i thrifted this beautiful coat. i wonder if this is just loro piana fabric or loro piana brand…
the coat seems to be 100% cashmere (very soft and cozy) about the lining there’s no information, but i think it could be silk?
the coat itself it’s really well made but i have this doubt that it was made by a tailor, that being said, how much you think this coat can worth?
Beautiful coat and very well made.
Lining is not silk. Just very fine bemberg.
Made by a tailor without a label except the lora Piana label supplied when the fabric was purchased

Just picked up these Versace couture jeans at a thrift store and I am wanting to see if anyone can tell if they are authentic Versace?
