Also, please do not purchase if it is real, because this could be a STEAL, and i don't want anyone to steal it from me

I'm kidding bro. It's not my size. Sorry I can't be helpful, I can't tell whether it's real or fake.

It's not purple label, it's blue label, just as the seller says.

This is a very good line. In the poloverse, it is second only to purple label in quality of workmanship. Plus it has some nice retro styling -- those peaked lapels are very 30s.

So it looks legit to me.

Those sellers, Larry and Kimmi, have been very good to me. I've purchased a lot of their products over the past couple years and each time have been extremely satisfied. I highly recommend them!

Those suits are made by Cantarelli, right?

Purple is the best made.

I'm not sure which of blue or black is above the other in quality of workmanship. I'm guessing Blue is higher, but lack evidence.

Besides, the styling of each points in a different direction: blue is classic with a 30s direction, while black is inspired by the 60s.

Blue is made in the US and Italy. The one at auction is US made. I don't know the maker.

I'm 90% sure Blue is higher quality than Black. Black is more fashion-forward and if IIRC, their suits are generally fused (albeit nicely so).

Fairfax is a current BL model with Peak lapels. However, It says it is made in the USA, so it is several years old, but the tag is not the typical Polo tag you would see. I have seen this tag before in BL suits that were made for the European market.

One useful thing to look for is the color of the label.

Purple label labels are purple.

Blue label labels, as in the suit at auction, are blue.
