On the American Yves Saint Laurent website the cheapest shirt is priced at around 300usd, but ebay has some YSL Pour Homme shirts with retail tags for less than 40£ claimed to be authentic YSL Pour Homme.

The first reaction to such auctions, of course, is that they're fake simple as that. But I talked to some mates about them and they had seen plenty of YSL Pour Homme polos and t-shirts being sold on legitimate UK sports stores in Oxford Street LDN for an example.

So does anyone have any info on this YSL Pour Homme? Is it like YSL's Armani Jeans (a cheaper line for younger audiences sold under the same brand)

The reason I'm asking is that I found a few polos with really nice colourways and I'd order them right away if I could be sure that the YSL Pour Homme line is authentic and not some unofficial knockoffs.

Thanks in advance!

ysl rive gauche is the top line, pour homme is probably like calvin klein at macy's vs. calvin klein collection

Ok, thanks! I suppose it does exist then and a shirt with a 40£ retail is not necessarily a fake. And it's actually probably too low priced for the bootleggers to get interested in the first place.

If YSL pour homme is not in blue frame, it'll be a fake. As I remember this line was soled for some guys from China in 1990'ties, so it's has nothing common with YSL house. In 2007 YSL rive gauche line is closed. Now exists just YSL line (white label, black letters).
