Wow that seems a little shady lol
The guy that blight the kiton had it sent to a reweaver in Spain
Nah, mang... It was way more than a "little" shady. It was full-blown, over the top shady, but only on his probable intentions. I was in compliance with all of eBay's rules. The suit was legit and exactly as described. Once it's sold, I don't give two ***** what they do with it. lol :cool:

I suppose that could work if the size label is swapped in and all.

Wouldn't work on me, though. When I get a suit/SC in the mail, the first thing I do is the full canvas pinch test, baby. :bigstar:

I often get weird stares in the thrifts doing the pinch test. Not many seem to know what the heck it is i'm doing.

I get weird looks in op shops when people see me holding buttons to my cheek (genuine horn or shell feels cold against the skin).

I got a strange look when I asked to see the massive bag of ties a shop has out back. I’d shudder to think what looks I’ll get if I rubbed a shoe on my face...

Op shop staff can get a bit weird about going out the back. I even got funny looks at one store where there was a sign on the back door saying that all the suits were out the back if you wanted to look.

Worth putting up with the embarrassment, as that was the shop where I came across a billionaire's donations, most of them out the back.

Oh yeah, I’ve been out the back many times! Sometimes I find gold, sometimes sod all. There’s been no ties out out that have been worth while in weeks!

You can try a slightly less apparent way, bring the item up close to your eyes, as if your trying to read details on the content tag, while doing so hold the cuff as well and let it touch that little soul patch area about your chin...that area is far more temp sensitive as well...well besides your lips...not recommended.

I’ve had a few screened collars.

So douchebag, but pretty cool.
