Maybe he bought it from someone who claimed that it was from BE and he bought it. How would the OP know that it was authentic?

He said he added a lapel button hole. thus he is a ******* liar

Why not? I cannot tell the difference between vicuna and cashmere. BTW I just caught the dapper dog in the picture I posted......Scorsese does dress his extras well.

He might really have done so - more likely, the guy who sold it to him told him that. There IS a real chance OP got taken for a ride by some seller or some tailor, whoever he got the coat from. I'd even go so far as to say I'd think that's more likely.

On the lower left hand side of the photo...is that a dog wearing a top hat and smoking a pipe?

Because if he does, there is proof that he got ripped off and he knows that whoever he sells it to on Feebay will just dispute it!

PWNED!

Beautiful coat. If it fits and you don't need the cash...

I have removed my finger guesture photo. It was wrong to begin with. If it is fake, I'll keep it either way.

No worries. No offense taken, hopefully non-given.

Well yes. But more importantly, is that an authentic vintage Mighty Ducks t-shirt behind him? PS, Sorry about the coat, but as is with out the back story, it is a very nice coat just the same.

What was it like getting that second buttonhole added? Kind of like when you got ripped a new one in this thread? Let us know when you put it on ebay and claim it is authentic!

I don't like the color. It isn't flattering at all.

Not a Snarky response. Post was not clear about the fabric. Scorcese knows how to count money to and I'm sure a good quality cashmere would do just fine and save the production $40K. Take a pic of the mill label the tailor sewed in it, it would be either Scabal, Holland & Sherry or Loro Piana.

I find it hard to believe they would go so completely over the top with a prop. everyone works on a budget of some kind
