Hello,

I have little to no experience with buying items from eBay.

Saw this guy selling Jacob Cohen jeans:


His feedback are very positive with 95,9 % positive from 635 review.

The pants in the pictueres look authentic, but I get a weird feeling. Worth a try or is it 100 % fake?
Did you buy?

Would anyone be able to roughly date this aquascutum trench? From what I found online, it appears to be a tag from the 60's?


It seems to have been some type of collaboration between aquascutum and burberrys? Any information or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all, this is my first post so please excuse any post mistakes on my end. I recently purchased this Zegna tie from eBay. Upon opening, everything looks great. But I notice the brand label is off-centered towards the right and the fabric on that bottom underside is slightly uneven. The g looks off as well, but that is a result of loose stitching. May I please have some help verifying real? Thanks!

Could someone help verify if this Ermenegildo Zegna tie is real? What raised my suspicion is the off-centered label and uneven fabric near the label. Please do note the off looking "g" is due to loose threading.Thanks!

It would not be normal to see a coat with both Aquascutum and Burberrys labels, as these are two competing brands.

Someone has added a label from one brand to a coat from the other

I doubt anyone would fake E Zegna like this, but you never know. Plus there is an authentication thread. I just can't be bothered to move you.

What makes this curious is that aquascutum have never used such a check pattern considering it's distinctly burberrys', but this style/design of trench coat, I've never seen burberrys' do, and what reason would a seller want to stick a burberrys' label to an aquascutum garment, or visa versa as they fetch the same prices.
