Hi there, good people.

Can you help me and let me know if this an original Loro Piana I'm looking at?
If so, is it possible to know what year it was made?

Thanks in advance!

If it has to say “high class”, then it ain’t!

that is unlike any label I’ve seen and I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about LP.

It’s certainly not an LP made under their own label. If anything, its using LP fabric, but even then, LP has a specific requirement for how their product is identified.

Thank you for the help.

A random jacket with their fabric is pretty good but not great, I guess.

Doubtful the fabric is LP either, these do not look like the correct labels and Super 180s on a no-name RTW piece sounds a bit fanciful.

Hello,

I really need your help to know if this coat is authentic or not.

I'm not a Burberry expert, but i'm pretty sure someone here is.

The coat is labeled as a large (not in an italian size) .

Thank you for the help

Hi

Recently picked up two pairs of vintage OP Maceo off of Ebay. Any Oliver People experts able to authenticate these for me? Thank you! 7BC24C98-76DC-4980-87F8-541DE057783D.jpeg

Hello everyone,

I have found the following Brioni coat online and would like to know whether it is genuine or a counterfeit.

The details on the coat, especially those made of leather, seem a bit hard to fake, so I would guess it is genuine.

However, one thing that troubles me is that the seller also offers another Brioni coat that has a tag looking like this:

From what I have heard, Brioni normally only do a cross stitch on their name tags whereas this one features a zig zag stitch.

I hope there are some Brioni experts around here who can help me out. Thank you very much in advance! :)

just from the tags, i think both are legit

the tag on suit and sportcoat is always hand stiched (cross stitch), and some zig zag stitch on jackets
