Absolutely available! PM incoming. I've gotta warn you though, they smell like they've sat with about two decades of stale cigarette smoke and wet carpet.

Literally only ties in my town

Nice little find out my way - sort of clothing related!

This is from a couple of years ago, but I think I can still brag. I bought a nice leather jacket ... lightly used ... originally retailed by Wilkes Bashford. When it arrived it had a slight odor of smoke. I wrote the owner but he never responded. I decided to call, but before I did I gave the jacket a once over and found eight $100 bills in an inside pocket. The guy answered and right off the bat he practically shouted "You bought it, it's yours. I'm not taking it back. Adios".

After a year the smoke scent was gone ... and the $800 more than paid for the purchase.

I'm gonna vote real seems like an odd item to fake .
Speaking of legit checks can I get one on this .
I would think it would be a little crisper print but what do I know .there seem to be quite a few out there with the same tag so I grabbed it anyway at 1.49.
Opinions ?

In a storage locker next to a Versace jacket?

Thanks for the confirmation guys, unfortunate as it is. What gives it away to me now that I’m better informed is the lack of branding on the outsole. I should have remembered that from a pickup from last year(leather quality is very similar though).

 

[JChong8]

@rokor they are definitely some high quality fakes as there is a lot of detail there. I found a pair of Tod’s calfskin chukka boots in my size last week, and you’re right in that mostly all Tod’s will be stamped with the branding on the sole. I paid $18.99 and these were either brand new or worn one or two times.

 

[LaundryRoom]

That's a nice haul of Arc'Teryx there @impuntura . Also holy **** a NWT Allsaints moto?

Yeah, that AllSaints moto is sweet!

Looking good, man!

That CG is nice. The blue Arc seems suspicious though. Is it real? If so, that's a new tag for us to learn from.

The design and tag makes it look copied and I've seen some bad copies.

@Fueco i could use your expertise, how old is this? The semi rural area I’m in now would never see recent Patagonia but vintage is a possibility anywhere.
