The Corneliani looks fine, I’m unfamiliar with Z Zegna but I can’t imagine that would be faked. You’re likely pretty safe.

I have that zzegna suitor one that looks exactly like it. I too can’t imagine anyone counterfeiting a Z zegna

I see nothing in the pictures that makes me doubt authenticity. And if one were producing counterfeits that woven stripe is not exactly low-hanging fruit.

I purchased this coat and the seller said she purchased it at Harrod's many years ago. I know the plaid pattern is obviously different, but I've read that some liners can be customized. It has a detachable wool liner. Is it authentic? Thanks!

Hi ! Thank you. I'm sure I'll need to get a certificate of authenticity because it's not the typical Burberry pattern. I've searched online and can't find anything similar to this piece. Do you think she just had it custom made or is there a name for it? I paid $75, hoping it was authentic but I started doubting it when I started looking for the pattern

Burberry did a lot of different patterns and check colors for their liners over the years. Not custom, not a common pattern but I’ve seen it before
