@Versace Guy
Thanks for the thumbs up. All the ties and the leather goods were from an estate sale, so same original owner.
Sorry, I'm no help with the sweater.

@ ClosetEvolution,
I am 80% sure the Hermes ties are real, especially if they came from the same donor (some of them I am 100% sure are real)


My turn to ask! Can someone authenticate these Issey Miyake? The tag seem different from what I've seen posted on the forum. And if real, is it women's or men's? They measure like men's, but the style feels like women's

Edit: actually these fit huge on me, but could be women's sag sweater

Reposting this again, does anyone have any opinion on it?

The BB would be an odd thing to fake and the CDG looks exactly like the couple older ones I have. Dope shirt too man.

Hello, it has been brought to my attention that this Tom Ford sports jacket may not be legit on this thread I started to ask opinions on styling: http://www.styleforum.net/t/528663/thoughts-tf-birdseye-sport-jacket#post_8563566

Here are pictures. Thoughts? Thanks :)
Also, what on earth is a size 48 "F"? I know, S, R, L, and C - not this though.














Thanks :)
I also would not mind your opinions on the jacket in the original thread - assuming its authenticity.

This might look like an orphan because it's a birdseye. But I've had SC before that was made from birdseye fabric. Also, keep in mind this is TF. He tries to blur the line between casual wear and formal wear or at least business attire. Also, that's a real Zegna tag. They've been making for TF for years. It's real based on that tag and all the details looks legit. The triple patch pockets also make it casual enough to be worn as a SC if this were intended to be a 2 piece. At the end of the day, if you look good in it, who gives a **** whether it's an orphan or SC. Oh, wowniceshirt is a legit seller on eBay.

M Is say legit Also, at the bottom of the Zegna tag it says "giacca" which in Italian means "jacket". On later Zegna tags they started denoting at the bottom of the tag wether it was a "jacket" or "suit" Oh and it looks like the the lining is a silk blend. Nice score man!

K is correct. As is barrel. Even if it had been an orphan, the patch pockets would make it very wearable as an SC

Thanks for all the swift responses.

Quote: Good point, and it is why I have kept away from some of his stuff in the past.

Quote: Interesting. I was informed that this is a very recent jacket, although I cannot find it in any lookbook.

Quote:
Ha, so you think the patch pockets look alright?

^ yes, because that is the detail that really screams sport coat. if it had flap pockets, I would not like it as an SC. Those pockets define it.

Does this look legit? Kid-size. Only tag seems to be what's in picture.
