Thinking of purchasing this vintage trench coat, but I don't know how to authenticate vintage with certainty. For the most I am convinced it is real, but if there is anything anyone would like to point out, that would be appreciated. Does Burberry ever stray from their classic tartan print.

One last tie I would like you guys to look at. It's from Ungaro. It is very thin compared to my other silk ties and stitching in the right bottom corner on the label is a bit messy. Thanks.

Hey not trying to sound like a complete asshole but posting every single thing you find at a theft store for someone to authenticate is getting pretty old. 99% of that stuff no one is going to fake. Even if they did it would be a cheap version of an already ****** product and that just doesn’t happen. Do some researchif you have doubts. This is like a last resort thread not a go to first for every single thing thread

No problem. I am just a collector so these things are kinda important to me if you know what I mean. I do my research of course, but other opinions always help. Thanks for the advice.

Hello , I bought this sweatshirt from Italist.com , shipped straight from Italy, CLG did say authentic, I believe it’s very real Versace as it looks stunning, however what bothers me is that one single thread showing off, real or fake ??

Hello!

This is my first post here. Unsure whether or not it's the right subforum for this.

I came across these two Loro Piana linen shirts online and I'm about to go for them.

Fabric looks like linen, topmost button appears to read "Loro Piana" but the label is missing the "Made in Italy" that I've seen everywhere. The only shirt I've found online without the "Made In Italy" is this one: https://www.vestiairecollective.com...o-piana/cotton-loro-piana-shirt-7832429.shtml

What do you think?

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I asked the owner about the buttons and she said they're mother of pearl. I guess I'll see.
