To add on the seller said that this pair was purchased in japan and may have been from an older release but i’m not too sure how reliable that is since I haven’t seen any tags similar to this one. Also the seller has been selling multiple pairs of the same pant on grailed.

Hey there! I recently purchased this coat second hand, and was wondering if it was real? The lining pattern is what keeps throwing me off, as I can't seem to find any mentions of different patterns Burberry might have used in their coats.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm almost positive it’s genuine. I can’t speak to the lining But the coat looks vintage so my guess is it’s an older pattern. Burberry has changed a lot over the years and I’m afraid I can’t help with that.

Kinda off topic, but I purchased something on a site that rhymes with failed that I believe is fake. I made the purchase more than six months ago. Is it a complete waste of my time to try to get my money back?

I think the Statue of Elimination might be expired on that one.

Hey Guys! :) Anyways I was going through my parents old stuff when I saw this Versace Jeans Couture Denim jacket. At first I didnt actually care about the brand but then after 3 years of having it in my closet I got curious if its authentic or knockoff.

So I searched online but then I cant find anything helpful so I believe or think that this isa fake since I cant see any tag with the code they keep saying online hihi. Anyways I search the vintage patch or logo of versace and saw one similar to mine. But no furthur information about the era or stuff. I only have the piece # but sadly that aint doing me some good. I really hope someone replies to this hahah thank you so much!

You can check the attached photos if it helps haha

Hey people, I just got these Fear of God jiu jitsu pants for what seemed like a good deal on ebay, some inconsistencies with other examples online are making me think they're fake... I would really appreciate some help with this. It seems to me that the care/content tags are wrong (content should be just 100% cotton & care section lacks alternative wash instructions), the size tag on the waistband is missing (I can feel something inside the waistband where it's supposed to be???), the brand label lettering looks flimsy (T in "collection" looks funny), and the stitching on the rubber tag misses the pre-punched holes. Someone please tell me, does FOG just have bad QC or have I been duped?
