OT: Fake eBay UK Monclers

Slightly off topic but I know a lot of you guys are buying Monclers with the Bond (SPECTRE Solden) and Daniel Craig connection.

Anyhow a rare "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" Cezzane Moncler appeared on fleabay UK this week which I jumped on, however after my purchase I remembered that I had pics of the real deal and thus after a quick comparison it seemed to me dead cert a fake.

REAL CEZZANE

EBAY AUCTION (notice Moncler is not even centered and the whole thing label and writing looks amateurish)

There was a few other things also (buttons) etc and closeup of fabric that didn't add up.

The seller refunded my money instantly after I sent her the comparison pics and it turns out they had only recently just bought it off another eBayer but it didn't fit her husband (a quick completed / sold item search showed this was indeed true and purchased from another seller)

Anyhow be careful people!! Looks pretty obvious when you compare against the real thing.

    It's always a gamble buying desirable name brand stuff on ebay in today's world.

    Lucky escape! If anyone does need advice or help validating I am fortunate to own an original cezzane and I'm always happy to provide info - especially around some of the more hidden details like labels inside pockets and so on....

    Thanks to a tip off that you could pick up the Moncler Soldne version cardigan in Copenhagen I just bagged a Navy Blue in Denmark (and a lot cheaper than barneys in NYC) - got the last Med in stock what a result!

    The lord giveth and taketh away as Amazon also cancelled my JB Archives order on Monday - it was meant to be I guess

    So I have a Super Natural Men's Combustion Cloud Jacket 340 in Caviar (Black) up for grabs if anyone is interested drop me a PM only looking to recover what I paid for it (import from US so £100 plus postage (size Small but fits me fine and I am a 38 - 39 chest)

    Cheers :-)
