Fake or Real (Authentic, Genuine, etc.) -- Official Authentication Thread

[shok33]

Hmmmm, I think it's fake. How old is it? Usually the Brunello Cucinelli tag will say something like cashmere or wool and cashmere. I've got a few Cucinelli pieces and they all have that. I'm not an expert though.

The seller says that it's from recent collections. Not vintage

Hi guys, do you guys think this armani tie I want to get is legit? Seems like it but I’ve never seen Armani using that lining logo(?) it’s also 60%silk 40% linen which makes me think it might be real, but again, the lining logo with the GA kinda throws me off idk… What do you guys think?

Hello everyone!

I saw a BC jumper that I liked, but it seems a bit suspicious for me because of a size tag. Can anybody tell me is it legit or not?

This is fake. The model sku doesnt exist and the colour code is dark grey. plus that embroidery detail on the chest has never been done before

That's a nice scarf. Where'd you get it? I want it too. Looks legit to me.

Thank you, got it at a consignment shop.

This screams fake to me. It's a Brioni coat. What do you guys think?

Labels all look good—just quite old.

Thanks. How old?

Is 100% real, the reps can't do the fabric tag font properly. The finishing are all TF quality. I owned the puffy jacket verison of this, but sold it as the asymmetrical zip bothers me when I wear the jacket like a blazer.

Hi there!

First time posting here, since I’m not entirely sure of the authenticity of this piece myself. Logo misses detail imo and I’m not familiar with this materials tag either. Or is it just old. Can someone help out?

Hello all, first time poster here. I am looking at this suit on this website. The seller said his wife purchased for him a few years back and he has worn 3-4 times.

Based on the pictures he has submitted: does this look authentic? I question the “double” white tag (the one saying do not iron etc) thoughts? Is this reasonable for $1,450?

Hard to tell, but $1,450 can get you a new Brioni suit from ebay.

Hmm, I didn’t check eBay because I feared being scammed. I will look into that.

topshelfapparell is a reputable seller

Lots of reputable sellers on ebay. I own dozens of suits I've purchased over the years from there...Kiton, Brioni, Isaia, Sartoria Castangia, Attolini, etc. all of it is 100% real (I also have bought new from the makers themselves so it would be very easy to spot a fake).

Thank you sir for the reassurance. I am looking at a brioni suit on that website I linked. But I have found a purple label Ralph Lauren suit that looks exceptional that is my size from a reputable seller on eBay. I think I will purchase this and get it tailored and I am going to be one happy camper

Purple label quality is incredible…I’d rank it with the best of the best. I own a navy pinstriped purple label suit I bought years ago…still consider it one of my best quality and best looking suits.
