The ‘haha’ was missing from the end of that!
Thank you! As I understand, the Brioni is totally fake?
Also, can you please tell anything about this one?

No the Brioni from that seller is real. I was joking about not bidding on the two 3xl shirts they have for sale as I intend to buy them. I bought two Brioni shirts from this seller a while ago. Both real.

Found these Timberlands. They say made in Thailand so not sure if fake or just an older style.
Any advice?

What makes you say that? It must be a really good game then. What’s the giveaway?
Hey!
1. If Iam not sure, check other listings, i know this seller, he mixes Fake with real Merchandise, just check the some Ricci jackets, you can tell by the the zipper / hardware. I think his old ebay name was: w fashion 777, or it is real, and get factory seconds.
2. The second give away to me was, that L tag, he get prices in €, should be marked with 40 or whatever.
3. It could be real, if this is from the outlet, but then it should be with an Outlet price.
4. It could be possible to get defective merchandise directly from manufacture, but you are usually not allowed to sell them online.
5. You can always check the arrived item, a picture is fine, but you don't know what you get.
6. I could be 100% wrong on this seller, than cam very sorry... but with i think its 777, and he sold fakes that is sure.

I have seen pretty good Brioni & Ricci fakes on ebay. One sold for 8.000$, and if you remember the fake Kiton croco jacket i have showed you a picture a long time, is a very good fake.

Can you link to one of that seller’s fakes? I just clicked around a bit and all of their listings seem legit to me from what I looked at. I only poked around for a couple minutes though so I definitely could have missed something

Really? But the stitching is throwing me off.
The stitching where? The uppers look perfect, the soles are extremely well made and no flaws, perfect Gucci stamp, tag on the insole is correct, insoles are correct. I see Zero red flags on this one and Ives handled hundreds of legit pairs and seen my fair share of fakes

OK sorry, like I really don't know **** about authenticating any brand. Was pretty much just a guess
