That site does not look legit. There are endless amounts of these sites that all look roughly the same.

+1 I hesitate to say what my "tell" is because the scammers might read it here and rework it, but the "units in stock" - it's at least reasonable on this site but I've seen sites that say hundreds or thousands of units in stock for low volume/rare items. Regardless, sniff around and look at that count - seeing everything in stock and nothing sold out is practically a give away.

While we're talking Yoox, I saw that they got a boatload of Mastai Ferretti shirts in a range of sizes and colors in the $100 per range. For those that don't know. Mastai is a brand by Saitt which also owns Truzzi Milano.

While Mastai has some more "youthful" looks, they also have plenty of CDB and casual staples - this drop looks to be more like the latter. It also includes some linen and linen blends, nice.

In short, if you're normally hunting Borrelli, Barba, Finamore, Truzzi shirts - you should look at Mastai too. Keep in mind all those brands produce from low-end to high-end variants, so they run the gamut. Happy hunting!

edit: pro-tip: Mastai usually runs slim (as in traditional slim, not stupid slim) and are almost always darted. I'm a trim EU50 with a 35.5" sleeve and their 16's usually work great for me OTR without needing to see the tailor. I'd say they are sized most similarly to Barba and Finamore.

Does anyone have experience with http://www.novacafe.co.nz/ ?
The shoes there are extremely cheap, but why?

Fake site. Check "Contact Us". There's never any information ... only a "form". These guys buy expired domains (like this, which presumably belonged to a coffee shop in New Zealand) and fill them with luxury items at a fraction of the normal retail price. Dead giveaway is that the domain has usually nothing to do with the items they sell. Pictures are often lifted from legitime sites. So you could also do a reverse image search to see where they originally come from. There are so many of these sites that I'm constantly surprised that there's not more awareness of this scam.

While we're on the topic of legitimate/semi-legitimate online stores: does anyone know what the deal is with designer sunglasses from places like jet.com, where they are significantly cheaper than in other stores? Are they defective? Factory seconds?

I always check the Contact Us page if there's any question. The "scammer" sites never list a phone number, email address, physical address, or any means of reaching them other than a generic interface to send them a message through the site. I've never seen a legitimate site that doesn't have the aforementioned info.
