Also i cant seem to find any info(what collections) regarding the shoes, will be very grateful for any info. Attached fit pic please be gentle.

ARe you sure those are genuine? There is something not right....I would imagine Armani uses Blake construction....yet those look like "artificial look like Goodyear welting" edges....very popular with the Chinese fakes, I'm told... also, who the hell writes 100,00% vitello? They would say 100% vitello... it looks maybe even like a "Chinese who lives in Italy and knows how Euros write their decimals" fake... Something's not right... As for whether they look good or not....that's up to you, but good for you for posting pcitures of yourself WEARING the shoes....as my Mom would say, shoes are to be worn, not put on the floor at a jaunty angle and photographed.... Where you did you get them? And how?

I got them at Armani outlet, I am sure it's 100% genuine.. http://www.hongkonghustle.com/fashio...laza-shopping/ Today I went back and tried to exchange for something else.. I was pretty much begging and told them I will spend more if they let me. After 20min (the manager has to call their office for permission), they let me. Thanks everyone for your feedbacks, haha i end up getting a navy sweater made with 100% virgin wool, it feels like baby buttocks

The shoes are genuine. they are also genuinely unattractive, but they are real. All of those markings are in line with what I've seen on any of my GA items.

Glad you got rid of the shoes; I mean, now you've got a very basic wool sweater that cost you a fortune (haha). BUT, it's at least more durable than the other. Avoid going to the Armani store. I think it's bad for your pocket book.

Haha yea I agree 1000%. It is so overpriced even after discount that only people who are truly rich can afford( I am not).

Thanks Rach for all your kind words, u made me felt much better, thank you(sincerely).. By the way what do u think about giorgio armani bags? I saw a carry on that was on sale, the design was nice but the quality looks soso....

Armani bags have some of the lowest quality-to-price ratio I've ever seen. I often like the design, and the simplicity of the styles (for the mainline), but the hardware is cheap, the linings are very icky/papery, and the leather is low-to-mid-grade, at best. It's basically a $175 bag paraded as one costing $1750. I would avoid altogether, unless at DEEP discount (like 80% or more) If you are in the market for a carry-on, stay tuned to the sales area as I'm getting ready to list some of my bags I'm not using (haha)

Haha will do, I don't really follow b/s because I live in hk and most seller don't like to deal internationally, but I will keep an eye out for ur items.

Buying pants are more forgiving, I've had a few pairs that didn't work out and I just turned them into shorts
