I hope you didn't actually buy a Kiton Vicuna jacket when uncertain of authenticity. But it's real- I'm pretty sure the handsewn kiton is sort of akin to Cifonelli's signature in their lining. But that handwork looks spot on, all the tags look fine etc...

Is this Kiton jacket fake or authentic? I have never seen hand stitched Kiton logo on the jacket
Real. I hope you didn't buy that thing if you were honestly questioning its authenticity, that'd be one hell of an expensive mistake.

I want to pick this up. Waste is too big, but it'll be worth the tailoring costs if real. What do you think? Thanks.

What do you guys think?
Looks genuine, but old. Gucci ties (even very recent) don't command a lot of money used, so don't spend too much.

Looks genuine, but Oxxford is a brand that isn't too expensive used. If tailoring is going to cost a lot, wait around for one that's a better fit.

The tailoring would only be taking in the waist by 2".

Where I live, that usually costs 20-30 bucks.

Real or Fake Thom Browne Shirt
So I just purchased a TB shirt off ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/151190115074?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I am curious if it is real or fake because this is my first Thom shirt I own. All of my other thom stuff I have ordered from retailers that I trust.

Here is an imgur album with the shirt

As far as I can tell the buttons are real MOP.

The problem is the TB tag near the bottom looks too close to the placket and feels kind of plasticy. Also the inside tag says "Made in USA". Isn't all TB made in Japan now except for their MTM stuff? (I mean that could make this shirt from 2009 or something)

For a size 0 the shoulders measure 16.75 or so if that helps.

Thanks for the help.
