I've been experimenting with the Salvation Army this month (after Put This On tipped me off that January was the time to strike).
I'm trying to figure out if this is worth pursuing any further.
The two questions are: Is it a knock-off? I'm no good at judging labels and have zero knowledge of brand history but the off-center "Made in Italy" looks weirdly suspect.
Second: If it's authentic, is it worth taking to the tailor? The stance looks a little low and the lapels are wider than I'm used to and I don't think these things can be altered. Navy is my color of choice and my size is "very tiny" so I jumped at it at the store, since, right? Strike when the iron is hot.
Did I make a twenty dollar mistake, or should I drop another hundred dollars into pursuing this?
Obviously pictures of the thing on me would help make a judgement but I'm camera shy. Any help would be appreciated!
