I’ve checked online it seems they don’t have an official website and I heard the branding on the arm is rare.
Also material matches other suits!!
The few I could find
Never heard of this brand which makes me think there’s probably not a big market for fakes
Same first time today!!!
I think it's just an old brand that doesn't exist anymore. Looks like there's a lot of vintage ones on eBay. Agreed that there's next to zero chance of it being fake.
Also branding on the arm isn't 'rare' so much as it's a temporary tag that's supposed to be cut off!
That’s interesting why would you cut it off? If I may ask. It seems to be built in with the jacket itself with nice material. Though that is really cool that it’s an old brand!!!
The sleeve tag is just there for when it's displayed in a rack in the store
It should just be attached with a couple of loose stitches, you're meant to remove it
It's just a fancy version of the normal cardboard-label-attached-by-a-plastic-tag that you'd get on most clothes
Ahhhh ok I’ll check again but it seems more attached. I just don’t want to risk ruining this and hey it gives a talking point lol.
You really are supposed to remove it. I can see in the photos it's only attached with basting stitches.
Not removing it looks bad to people who know about clothes.
For what it's worth, looking around these weren't particularly nice or expensive blazers when they were originally sold. There are hundreds if not thousands of these old brands that existed before the internet but didn't survive around and tons of clothes from those brands sitting in goodwill etc. If you really like it, $8 is obviously very cheap - but it looks fairly dated in terms of cut & style and I'm suspicious it won't be the nicest material.
As someone who has left it on before by accident, can confirm
I did use a knife to cut it off but took it to DXL and they estimated it 150-300$ also looking alterations. They loved it and I do for sure too. Arms are a little too long and extra fabric in the abdomen and chest area they are able to take out to fit better
That is extremely long and just so many buttons wow
Yeah for sure but that’s its own character!
