I'd say fake. It is a XXL and he says it fits like a XL. That means it has a chinese sizing, they normally fit one size smaller.

Really? Last time I checked Italian sizing normally fit at least one size smaller.

HI!

Bought this sweater on Ebay but in my opinion is it fake comparison to my other Givenchy sweaters. Would be thankful if someone could leave some thoughts on this.
If I got it right, gap between the tag in the neck means it fake, right?




The tag to the right is from an old sweater and the left is from the one I think is fake.
Seems to me that someone has put down a lot of work to make this look like a real one.

Thanks in advance

Sorry, dude, I'm inclined to say it's a fake. Look at that ****** stitching! Also, the Chinese character for "cotton" gave it away, too...Last time I checked, Givenchy doesn't have Chinese on their label. Also, what's up with that phone number on the label?

Is this Kiton jacket fake or authentic? I have never seen hand stitched Kiton logo on the jacket

AFAIK that's not suspcicious, Givenchy happens to be very popular in China, and not everyone here can read English or French. :D The phone number looks like a French area code and number.
