Also this Gucci Jordaans. Thoughts?

the details look right to me. That would be a lot of trouble to go through for a counterfeit shoe. I’m not even sure shoes are an item worth knocking off. A lot easier to take a cheap $5 shirt and pass it off as Gucci with nothing more than a hastily sewn on label.

Thank you! I hear ya. ? I've seen Gucci loafer fakes that are sold for a very low price and being passed on as "authentic". Which is a very telling sign, and also because they are a bit popular lately. The Prada pumps that I posted though are a bit of an old design so I thought that would have less chance of being duped.

Do you reckon this Jordaan loafers are legit, or would there any other thing that I can check? They don't have the receipt and the box, apparently, it was just given to them as a gift.

Please revert to images and advise on whether this Thom Browne is authentic. Thanks for the help.

Well, I’d argue that the retail is overinflated and at that price, somewhere around $135 here stateside, not exactly a bargain.

You can get a quality OCBD from Kamakura shirts for $80-90

Anyone know if the below item is legit? I can't find any original sales/stock photos of the item anywhere online. Seller has good ratings, but carries a suspiciously high number of RL purple label items. Item seems too unique to counterfeit, but I've been seeing more and more niche fakes out there. The item is priced super high, so I would welcome the wisdom of the crowds on this (particularly if you can share any more details about the season or provide original stock images to help prove it's real).
