I didnt Hear about this. Knowingly selling fakes?
Yeh, don’t know how far it went, coulda just been a few dodgy employees, I don’t know, but it definitely happened. They are still authorised stockists of Moncler and Moncler were made publicly aware of the situation:eh:

Recently, I bought a Brioni silk scarf from Frieschskys.
https://www.frieschskys.com/brioni-navy-yellow-spell-handmade-silk-scarf-shawl-fashion-headscarf
Does Brioni even sell those silk scarfs?
I have gone to their website and store(one time), but I have never seen those before. View attachment 1153497
Thank you.
Brioni makes many garment pieces each year, so it is usually that you cannot find one particular piece in its store unless it is belong to a popular line. Sometimes, Brioni can make some special order pieces for certain stores. In that case, the fabric and even the cut may be different. And yes, Brioni sells top quality silk ties, pocket squares, scarfs, shirts, and suits, etc... And they are premium in prices also.

Authenticate this Burberry polo shirt for me guys please. Found it in a second hand. Writing on inside tag is hard to see but it is made in Poland.
Thanks

Recently picked up a Lubiam sport coat at an admittedly sketchy pop up style shop around 27th Street in NYC. I'm not familiar with the brand, but only four words on the inner label are decipherable. Is this typical?

Hey guys,

I picked up a Lee Riders denim jacket that I thought might be from the 70s. Unfortunately, I've since read that Lee denim jackets ALWAYS have plastic cat eye buttons at the bottom, and mine has the same metal "Lee Riders" buttons present throughout the rest of the jacket (Last picture). Does this mean I picked up a fake? Thanks for your help.

Legit, I’d say more around ‘80s and not ‘70s
