You are right, after closer inspection of the sold Kiton it looks like he sewed the Kiton label on, on some generic items.
It was the sold fake looking Gucci looking cardigans with kiton tags that put it over the edge for me

Thinking these CPs I got for $89.99 are real, especially with the last shape

It feels good to me too dude @kbadgley84 . Just well well worn. I wonder if there’s a way to properly clean the tarnish off the buckle (was thinking of using brasso). The buckle does feel substantial.

Yea I’d try basso, unless it’s chrome finished then maybe some water/baking soda/peroxide just light scrub until it cleans up

?‍♂️ You shouldn't have bought it if you couldn't tell.

There should be tags that'll help. You can ask the seller for them, but then again, you should have asked before you bid.

I believe there was no paper tag. But only composition tag. Should look like below. If it is fake, I have to ask for return.

Not the paper tags, but the inner tags usually have more information than that. It doesn't look correct, but you may find it difficult to actually prove that it's fake.
