This is a problem that we see often - (deeming an item fake because it has a flaw), the coat has thick wool duffel fabric, fabulous details, chain at the neck, the correct lining, aligned patterninig, authentic fabric labels, gorgeous toggles, the right buttons, correct size tags, correct Burberry London tags on the inside, and on and on, and on.

And it looks like a fabulous Burberry duffel coat.

But because the stamp on the toggle is off center ...

I did say that Burberry may have noticed the flaw and sent it to an outlet. I was just surprised to see an issue like that in the Soho store in NYC. And just so you know, people who counterfeit take items into the dressing rooms and actually cut out the tags so that they can then take them to manufacturing facilities to reprint those tags in the exact same way. Believe me, we would find our coats later with cloth tags cut off, it's clearly for that purpose.

They claim to have purchased it in 2006/2007 from a Burberry store in NYC. I've just asked if it was purchased from a boutique or an outlet. They said it was purchased at the Burberry Soho store, not an outlet, and that it was ordered from the store and shipped since they didn't have her size in-store. Everything from the posting seems genuine, along with the seller's responses, so I'm hoping it's genuine and the toggle is just something that got through quality control. Of course, better to know than to be naive.

I have 3 Burberry coats from 2009 and 2010. One Burberry Brit, and two Burberry London. I took pictures of the tags and also of my toggle (but mine is Burberry Brit) just in case it helps. I worked for the store and just don't remember seeing that jacket. Or the "order number" tag. Maybe that's something they attach that can be removable if it was ordered in.

Why did you comment that the Haymarket bag was fake? I don't believe it is. Yet when the coat looked a bit off you say I have a problem for deeming something to be fake. I didn't call you out, I simply asked why you thought it was fake. But you did try to lecture me on my opinion of the coat...????

I thought the official authenticators on this forum are Addy and Terite. On the LV forum, only the authenticators are allowed to comment on authenticity. Even though you used to work at a Burberry store, I don't believe you should attack Terite based on a difference in opinion. The LV employees are not experts in determining authenticity.

Please use a different vocabulary word than "attack" and read what I wrote. I just asked "Why do you think it's fake?" I was honestly interested in why her opinion of that bag was fake. Actually, she "attacked" me when my opinion of the coat was fake, even though I clearly retracted my statement saying there was a possibility of a quality problem with that toggle, but I was just surprised that it was purchased in a mainline store. I actually felt the way she spoke was rude. I have a very knowledgable opinion as well, and I was only trying to help the confused buyer.

I recently received this cashmere scarf from an ebay auction and would love an opinion of the authenticity. It appears that the materials tag was cut off (or if it's fake possibly never existed) and it feels shorter than a Burberry cashmere scarf I used to own. The auction claimed it was a used mens Burberry cashmere scarf, and the dimensions are 55" long by 12.5" wide, not including the fringe. The fringe is exactly 3" long. It feels as soft as my other cashmere goods, but I wanted to double check with the knowledgeable people here since the materials tag is missing, and since it seemed on the short side. Thank you so much for your help. I've attached photos of the logo as well as the stitching on the backside of the scarf where the logo is attached.

Can you please send a photo that shows the entire scarf? Perhaps a link to the original auction.

Older scarves did not come with a materials tag. The dimensions of 60 inches (with fringe) x about 12 inches wide is ok with me.

Scarves have gotten bigger/longer/wider it seems - depends on many factors of course, but in general.

Do the cashmere softness/feel test.
