Hello folks,
I just bought a couple pair of TB 4-bar sweatpants of others, been wondering if these are authentic. As I'm looking up, there are not much of guide of how to detect, so posting these hopefully anyone can spot or give me some advice of how authentic these pants are. More pictures will be available if necessary.
Thanks y'all for your time.
Hey @chottomatter , just saw your message! All tagging looks consistent with legit TB. I haven't seen much fake TB, so as always, make sure the seller has good reputation. Best!

Hi! I have a question and really hope someone can help. I'm completely clueless. Is this "Versace Jeans Couture" coat authentic? I tried researching but really don't know how to spot the differences. Any help would be appreciated, thank you in advance!

Can any Fendi experts tell me anything about this vintage Fendi Suede/Shearling bomber jacket? Bought it a few years back and would like to get some reassurances on authenticity and maybe some info about it (what year it was released by fendi etc). There is no wash tag on the coat and that's how it was when I bought it. Fendi Roma implies it was made in Europe? I can provide more photos if needed

Hi, could a kind soul please help me authenticate the following jacket?


I bought it a while ago, but it seems a little sketchy, especially that washing tag.

Its very confusing because everything else seems to check out perfectly.

I’m not familiar with Loro Piana using a red/burgundy tag like that. Maybe it’s an older piece because the tags have changed. Tough to tell other than that with those pictures.

To fight the killing cold of Finnish winter, I bought a vintage coat with a fur lining. The seller listed it as rabbit, but I've handled that before and this fur is coarser.

Who can identify the beast? Is it coyote or some other canine? Definitely not as soft and shiny as mink.

From the looks, it's coyote. Nice fur.

No experience with D&G. How do these tags compare with authentic items?

Hi there again guys, do you think this vintage Hugo Boss tie is fake? The silk gets super wrinkly and the feel of it seems kinda off to me.. but the logo on the lining and the composition tag seem legit. What do you guys think? I bought it from a reliable source, but Im still not sure about it being legit. Thanks guys
