Who goes through all the trouble with the fabric composition and then blatantly screws up the brand name, that's the mystery. I mean, why not go all the way?
Are you referring to the S? If so, that's is exactly what I though too. Someone linked me to this website saying that Burberry went as Burberrys until 1999 (https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/burberrys/).

But if you are referring to the inaccuracy of the tag itself I do not know much about Burberry to distinguish between real and fake tags.

I don’t think he was responding to your post. Look at the date.

Hi!
I recently bought a red gloverall duffle coat from ebay but I was wondering about its authenticity, since it has another label then modern day duffle coats and also has what I believe a herringbone partern to it. I have not sen this feature on another duffle coat from gloverall. The material itself is stated to be 100% wool. I was wondering If someone could tell me more about when it was probably produced and/or if it is the real deal. I have taken some pictures on the coat itself and labels inside to help in the matter. Grateful for all the help I can get!

A friend got this recently, would anyone know if this is an authentic older Dunhill polo shirt? The pique cotton weaver is smaller than typical polo shirts, but the cotton is also harder and stiffer. Curious why the wash tag is in Chinese but apparently that is what shirts in the store have.

Does anyone have an opinion on the quality of Dunhill polo shirts?

Hello, I have recently considered buying a Burberry trench second hand and I was wondering if these two are even real?

I couldnt find any similar Coat with similar Buberry Tag online and was curious about it.

the Burberry label and tags have changed over the years though this one looks to be of somewhat recent vintage. Sure, it could be fake but if it is, it’s a damned good one.

As a rule, just assume anything online unless from Burberry itself or an authorized retailer is fake, unless you don’t find evidence for it when looking at the posted pics.

This looks legit.
