I ebayed this suit for knockaround work week wear but I'm pretty sure its a knock off and I'm just looking for some verification from someone who knows the brand better.

Here is why I am suspicious;
-The tag is printed on glossy cardstock
-The third and fourth paragraphs on the tag are missing capitalization
-The card is attached with a clip featuring the Paul Smith PS logo and not the Paul Smith London one
-The spare buttons provided do not match the ones attached to the suit

So is this a knock off or just some kind of diffusion stuff?
