No way to tell from overly dark photos and no maker tag shots. The label looks right though.

I've never encountered fake Ferragamo dress shoes. And if they are fake, the likelihood that they would use something like pebbled-grain leather seems slim. I'm going with real.

As for the Brioni suit, same thing. Brioni is a very high-quality suit, but it doesn't have enough name recognition to be faked. I've never seen a fake Brioni suit being sold.

Is that fake, or something they make for salesmen who can't afford TF prices? The description says something about "designed specifically for Tom Ford associates." I mean, if you were trying to fake Tom Ford, why would you clearly label it "made in China?"

Also, it has split waist constuction; pretty good fake if you ask me.

Don't think it's really a Tom Ford suit that customers would buy. It more than likely is something that their SAs would wear in the stores...."designed specifically for Tom Ford associates." Starting bid of $1,000 is rather much though for what it is.

That's what I remember reading somewhere here in the forums. They're made specifically for sales associates to wear at work as uniform.
