Is this zegna sweater real? Has lampo zipper but what’s throwing me off is the Asian writing on the laundry tag

Hello everyone. I just bought an oxxford suit off ebay and although it's fully canvassed the button holes seem very rough and not handmade, as well as the lapel roll being not as pronounced as I was expecting. I just wanted a second opinion on this. The last photo is of the suit pants. Thank you

OXxford is real. lapel roll can be redone by yourself or a good dry cleaner. This suit looks quite a bit older, you may have a date on inside right breast pocket. To the best of my knowledge, no one is faking Oxxford tailoring. No real market.

Thank you for the help! Would you say that the level of detail in this one's lacking compared to newer oxxford suits or is it all a wash?

Someone else might be better able to answer that than me.

Hello, can you check this BC vest? I assume it's real, but it's just an older model with unlogged zippers? This item has Lampo zippers.

Hi everyone,

I recently buy a cotton sweater from Loro Piana on eBay. I really like it but it looks kind of suspicious to me. I am not sure whether Loro Piana have superfine Cotton or not. Could you guys help me to take a look? It would be really appreciated if I can have the viewpoints from professionals.

Best,

Lucien

Has anyone ever seen this kind of label on a Loro Piana coat?

Hi again guys, I just got this Brooks Brothers Makers and Merchants from Vinted, looks pretty legit but I don’t know why the lining(?) sticks out like this. What do you all think? Thank you

It’s real. BB ties show the lining for some reason.

It’s hard to say, to be honest. The tags look ok, and indicate that it’s an older product (if it’s real). But Zegna is faked often, so I couldn’t tell you for sure.

Just saw this Canali on ebay. I am new into the world of suits and wanted to know if this was authentic. What do I look for to tell if its a real Canali?

It’s real. Just an older model.
