Hi guys.
I have been trying to find a first suit for social and eventually professional occations, that is not too formal .
Because of my budget I have realistically been looking for a second hand/ NWOT suit however trying to avoid a costume feel. I found an Eidos suit on ebay that I rather like. However I am starting to doubt the authenticity, firstly it is rather cheap, and the product text is non-descriptive.

I was wondering if any of you recognize the details in below pictures as either right for Eidos or as warning flags of a fake?

The ebay posting.

The seller seems to have a bunch of suits NWT at low prices, 100% positive feedback, only a year old and for shipping Ebay puts "Expedited International Courier Delivery to Russia" even if the destination is Denmark (for me).

I hope you can help me and I sorry for the bother!

@AwfullyNiceGuy based on the tags and lapel pin, this is from the Simon Spurr era Eidos, not the Antonio Ciongoli era Eidos that really put Eidos on the fashion map (and which is especially popular with the followers of this thread). I kinda doubt that a counterfeiter would go through the effort of manufacturing fake Eidos, especially from the Simon Spurr era. They'd rather put out counterfeits of the luxury house brands e.g. armani, prada, etc.

@sillyvvill Thank you for the heads up! The pictures of Eidos clothing I have seen and like were from the Antonio Ciongoli era Eidos. In regards to the effort necessary to make a counterfeit, you are probably right.
Oh well back to hunting!

Since we are all asking, what is the deal with this?

Thought it would be these FW17 (?) pants but I recall these pants below are from a different canvas material.

The pants chris is wearing are the ones you have with the tags on it. Wish I had those, that’s the perfect khaki.

Probably not, it’s fairly slim. YOOX has pretty hassle free returns so it’s worth a shot

Congrats on that pickup, I own this piece and it's really really good. It is slim like you mention, I sized up to a large and I'm typically a medium.

I’ve been looking for this in a Large for ever. Nice pickup.

I own the large, but I'm fairly certain it's a keeper in my closet. I am actually going to be pairing down my wardbrobe so if I change my mind after going through my cuts, I can let you know if you really are interested.
