Anyone know if this is real Brioni?

you can google for more info as well...I wouldn't trust anything sold or made by anyone or any entity in the Middle East.

Aren't buying these ties the same thing as buying a fake watch?

Indeed, the MudjahaBrioni are a very feared sartorial terrorist group who will heap criticism of the highest order on your cheap RTW.

Yes, they utterly destroyed the Bamiyan JC Penney.

Good word, I had to look it up.

"pillock n idiot. You could almost decide having read this dictionary that any unknown British word is most likely to mean "idiot". And you could almost be right. The Brits have so many because different ones sound better in different sentences. "Pillock" is likely a contraction of the 16th century word "pillicock", which was used to refer to the male member."

Must I? Or do I prefer calling you out on your sweeping generalisation?

I'm pleased you've put a link to assert your case, but go further.

Put Google to use, and check your facts. You'll learn that Brioni had/has a store in Lebanon.

It does not prove that those ties the OP inquired about are fake, though it does demonstrate that you're letting paranoia overrule reason.

Not everything luxury-oriented in the Middle East is necessarily counterfeit.

There's enough money shared between those who can afford it for Brioni's master tailors to make pilgrimages to the ME for fittings. (I can use search engines too.)

That's hardly surprising, since some Arabs have no occupation other than spending, (the House of Saud) so yo ucould expect their countries or sultanates to be laden (ba dum tish!) with all manner of gaudy, expensive, material labels.

The link you posted does not tell the full story, either. Software, DVDs and luxury handbags are the counterfeit items of maximum profit margin, flooding the bazaars. They are easier to replicate in the first 2 instances, and are accessible to a significant portion of the global marketplace.

Counterfeit suiting, if it makes the cut, ranks below counterfeit football jerseys in the grand scheme of counterfeiting.

I'm not from the region, by the way, just took offense at your generalisation.

you are one naive person. Again, I wouldn't buy any type of 'high end' clothing from anyone other than the person who actually owned it or from the department store or designer store itself, online or in person. If I did buy anything from a seller who originated from the Middle East or anywhere else, it better be from the designer store itself and not some person who says he is a buyer of clothing from 'stores that went out of business'...yeah right.

Members here have said they've bought from this seller and it's indeed fake. It's not going to a good cause regardless.
