Hello everyone,
I made this account so I could ask help to authenticate a vintage Burberry trench coat that I just bought.
Here are some sample photos, mostly I think it checks out as being a vintage one, but some detail feel a bit sloppy to be honest. Please tell me what so you think and why.
Best regards, Ben

Grabbed this pair of women's pants off TRR and the tag is giving me serious doubts. Any guidance is appreciated, thanks!

Vintage, real to me, mid 1980s, even though the tags look blurred, back in the day QC was ****.

I am trying to get a picture of any inside tag as well. I am concerned that this is not legit Zegna or its Zegna Z. I see there is a Z on the tag but I dont know what the Italian abbreviation means above.

The shirt itself is a lightweight knit crew. It looks well made, but the combination of labels is what is throwing me

In the market for a pair of Scafora shoes. The soles on these differ from everyone I have ever seen. They don't have the crest. Are these real? They are a good deal and in my size.
