Hello guys! Snapped up a Burberry trench on eBay without due diligence for 130£ and now having doubts about authenticity! Still have not been shipped since Friday and he does accept returns so I’m not too worried about being scammed but still...also he is selling another coat with exact same pictures for buy it now...

What gives me pause is... lining stripes not matched, lining being cotton/linen without gabardine diagonal lines, and I have not seen any men’s trench with hood. Soo... any help? Here is pictures...

What are you thoughts on this pair of Lobb's? Not only on authenticity but also on quality, versatility and whether or not its worth 100 dollars. 20210303_131623.jpg

Agree with other posters. Real, but the colour makes them of limited use. Too smart to be casual, too casual to be smart.

Well,
Reselling them for $200 probably the best use

reselling for that kind of mark up doesn't really seem that tempting to me. But if any of the subs is interested in the shoe I can buy'em and ship them for no commission. Sub only has to pay for shipping and the shoes. They are on a Turkish site, so if you live in Turkey you can buy them yourself very easily.

I just pulled that number out of the air, and don't really know what the resale value would be. Judging by the condition, probably more than $200, but not really my bag either.

Can they be colored to be chocolate brown?

Here's a thread where someone did that, but they were plain toe which I think would make it much easier. Either way it sounds like a lot of work, and a gamble on the results
