:laugh: Imagine grizzlybear telling his buddy "brah, hold on while I flex the logo" and removing his jacket from his shoulder.

Hello all, I'm tempted to buy this Saint Laurent 'teddy' bombers but I cannot seem to find this exact model online. Do you think it's legit or an obvious fake? Thank you!

Yeah, I never saw storm flaps on both sides either... probably just a one-off design or customized for client? If it drapes well and fabric is substantial, I wouldn't worry about it.

Hello, I’m hoping someone can help me authenticate the attached Brioni jacket. Appreciate all help

Has Brioni also had size tags in US sizing?

I recently came across this Brioni jacket while I was out sourcing. I looked it up and upon just skimming results, I decided to grab it. However, I am not familiar with Mens Formal Wear or this brand at all and can’t find the exact same jacket online through an image search either. The wash tag is almost completely faded with only a few numbers and words still legible. All of the words and the care instructions on the tag are in Italian. I’ve found similar jackets online that look almost exactly the same but with key differences such as the tag and material. Any help or opinions are appreciated! i just want to know exactly what I am selling and the authenticity of it so that I don’t claim It to be something that it’s not.

that label is unknown to me. Also, I can’t believe Brioni would make anything quite so ugly.

Can someone help me determine if those are real or fake? I bought them for a really low price (~35 euros), and I would like to sell them on Ebay. I'm pretty sure the people selling them didn't know what exactly were they selling (we don't have a developed "fashion" culture in my home country), but I need to be certain before I list them :).

Thank you for the quick response. They truly are beautiful, I would have gladly worn them had they been half a size size larger. I have a few more questions concerning the Crockett's, but I will address them in a separate thread.

Just bought this jacket and there was no photo of the inner tag. Now that I have it I'm pretty certain it's fake given that Loro Piana is spelled incorrectly.
