Hi again,
Hoping I can get some help on a trench coat... I have another question too, because I've come across a few variations of the knight on the navy blue label. I don't know which one is correct and if Burberry made a slight change to the rider's helmet at some point? Here are the labels I've seen on different trenches and here is my trench I just received. The embroidery looked crisp and clean, the ratio of knight & horse to the "Burberry" stitching looked good. I thought genuine, but my guys helmet is like the fake ones. (I'm pretty positive logo 5 & 6 are absolute fakes) The plaid doesn't quite match up in the back of the collar. It came with spare buttons, it's an older coat, Lawrence is the style, I think? Please advise!
Thank you!!

Hello everyone, thanks for your help today. I have purchased a scarf from eBay, and I'd love to get your input. I have attached the pictures from the ebay post here. If further pictures are required I can load them when it comes to me in the mail. I have already paid but the seller does offer returns. I see she has sold many burberry scarfs. Almost all had good reviews, but two reviewers said they suspected theiers were not genuine. the seller responded saying her scarves came from a reputable supplier. she sell many vintage designer items. Anyways I was a bit concerned after seeing those two reviews.

Item Name : Burberry Nova Giant Check
Ebay item ID: 162283158034
Photos: attached

Hopefully I have followed all the rules, first post!

Hi,
Thank you so much for your respond. Unfortunately, I already paid. I should have done more research before paying.
This is more detail photo from the seller.
I will not get this scarf with me until tomorrow or Monday. If these photos are not enough, please let me know and I will upload more photos once I got it.

Ok, so the trench coat looks good - there should be a size tag somewhere - it is vintage. The paper tag that you show - that might be the size tag - not certain. These coats are notorious for looking new even when they are old, and I have WASHED many trench coats and they are remarkable (don't wash wool though - dryclean that). The back of the neck and the pattern placement - that is perfect.

The blue labels - well - yes they change slightly over the years - and then JAPAN had a Burberry London line with another version of the blue label also - so it is very confusing for sure.
PS: well, label six looks ok so far - and label five - I would need to see more - the Japan line made some odd labels - that manage to confuse everyone - I would stay away from that line in that era.

Oh no, that's not a good sign.

Not a good sign - but they have several legit ones and scarves from many era's. They have wool scarves that have been washed and shrunk - ohhh.
Always check the tassels. If they are chubby/stubby and you can no longer see the twist - then it has been ruined in the wash, or if the label no longer lies flat. Also the tassels will never be cheap or thin or wispy on a wool scarf -
One NICE thing about an older scarf, is they tend to be THICKER -

I am hoping that you will be able to help me with your wealth of knowledge.
Today I bought a scarf from a charity shop, my intention was to cut it up to make Gnome hats........ It wasn't until i got it home that I realised it had a Burberry label.
So my question is; Is it real or do I cut it up?
I would rather someone else enjoyed it if its real.
It 'feels' quality to me. The colour is a chartreuse green weft and warp with a sort of pale moss green weaved in too.
Thank you in advance

Thank you for your response. I just got the scarf now and these are some more photos. By reading some other articles, I found that the pattern/tage/the red line looks a lot like the fake one/the stitches doesn't line up nicely.
The article that I mentioned was this one http://betweennapsontheporch.net/burberry-scarf-fake-vs-real-how-to-tell-the-difference/
Please help me! I only have 3 days to report if this is fake.
